1 kilogram (kg) is about 2.2 times as heavy as 1 pound (lb). Suppose the function f determines Chase's weight (in lbs), f (t), given the number of days t since the beginning of 2017. The function g determines Chase's weight (in kg), g (t), given the number of days t since the beginning of 2017. Suppose f (37) = 193. a. What is the value of g (37) ? b. Write a formula for g using the function f

Rylan Skinner · Answer 1

a) 87.7

b) g (t) = f (t) / 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of pounds is 2.2 times the number of kilograms, so we have ...

f (t) = 2.2·g (t)

a) On day 37, Chase's weight in kg is ...

f (37) = 2.2g (37)

193 = 2.2g (37)

g (37) = 193/2.2

g (37) ≈ 87.7

__

b) Rearranging the equation we started with, we have ...

g (t) = f (t) / 2.2
