The vet told jake that his dog, rocco, who weighed 55 pounds, needed to lose 10 pounds. jake started walking rocco every day and changed the amount of food he was feeding him. rocco lost half a pound the first week. jake wants to determine rocco’s weight in pounds, p, after w weeks if rocco continues to lose weight based on his vet’s advice.
p=55-0.5w anyreal number 44 to 55

20 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of weeks needed to bring down the weight to 45 = w

Weight lost per week = 0.5

Hence the our function will be

45=55-0.5w

0.5w=55-45

w=\frac{10}{0.5}

w=20

Hence Rocco is going to attain weight of 45 p in 20 weeks and the function as per vet advice wil be

f(x) or P=55-0.5w

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
