Calories in food provide essential energy, for you as well as your pet. But how much should you be feeding your pet and how does the size and weight of your pet influence the amount of food they need?
The adult weight of your dog is determined by the number of calories you feed your puppy. The function
relates the number of kilocalories per day, k, to the adult weight of the dog (in kilograms), w.
A graphical way to determine if a function is one-to-one (the inverse is a function) is the Horizontal Line Test. If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function f at most once, then f is a one-to-one function. In other words, the inverse is also a function.
Is the following graph one-to-one?
Does the following graph have an inverse that is a function?
What does the inverse compute?
Using a graphing calculator, graph w(k). Choose an appropriate window to view the graph of the function. Does the graph of w(k) pass the Vertical Line Test?
The ideal adult weight for a golden retriever is about 30 kg. How many calories a day should you feed a golden retriever to achieve this ideal weight? Show how you got your answer.
The ideal adult weight for a Schnauzer is about 9 kg. How many calories a day should you feed a Schnauzer to achieve this ideal weight? Show how you got your answer.
Write an equation 𝑘(𝑤) that outputs the number of calories you should feed a dog whose ideal weight is w kg.
Using a graphing calculator, graph k(w). Does the graph of k(w) pass the Vertical Line Test?
Is the following graph one-to-one?
Does the following graph have an inverse that is a function?
