Question

A weight lifter can deadlift 275 pounds. She can increase the weight that she can lift according to the function W(x)=275(1.05)^x, where x represents the number of training cycles completed. How much will she deadlift after 5 training cycles?

Answer 1

`350.98\ pounds`

Explanation:

we have

`W(x)=275(1.05^(x))`

where

W is the weight in pounds

x is the number of training cycles completed

For
`x=5\ cycles`

substitute the value of x in the function

`W(5)=275(1.05^(5))=350.98\ pounds`
