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.

Using a graphing calculator, graph k(w). Does the graph of k(w) pass the Vertical Line Test?

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.
