Jonathan has been on a diet since January 2013. So far, he has been losing weight at a steady rate. Bases on monthly weigh-ins,

his weight, w, can be modeled by the function w=-3m+205 where m is the number of months after January 2013.
a) How much did Jonathan weight at the start of the diet?

b) How much weight has Jonathan been losing each month?

c) How many months did it take Jonathan to lose 45 pounds?

$a)\ \ \ w(m)=-3m+205\\\\m=0\ \ \ - at\ the\ start\ of\ the\ diet\\ \\w(0)=-3\cdot0+205=205\\ \\Ans.\ weigh\ at\ the\ start\ of\ the\ diet\ is\ 205\ pounds\\ \\b)\ \ \ w(m+1)=-3(m+1)+2015=-3m-3+205=-3m+202\\ \\w(m+1)-w(m)=-3m+202-(-3m+205)=\\ \\=-3m+202+3m-205=-3\\ \\Ans.\ Jonathan\ has\ each\ month\ 3\ been\ losing \\ \\ w(m)=205-45=160\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ -3m+205=160\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \-3m=-45\\ \\m=15\\ \\Ans.\ 15\ month$

Answer:

408 bags of dog food

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the total bags of dog food. Because they give you two existing values expressing how much dog food of each type there is, all you must do is add them together. 145 + 263 = 408

For the function below, find the vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum or minimum value, and the graph of the function.

const2013 [10]

F(x) = x^2/2 + 2x + 1f(x) = 1/2 * (x^2 + 4x) + 1f(x) = 1/2 * (x^2 + 4x + 4) - 1/2 * (4) + 1f(x) = 1/2 * (x + 2)^2 - 1
The vertex is (-2, -1). The axis of symmetry is x = -2. The minimum value is -1. The maximum value is infinity.
