Concept explainers
In an article in the College Mathematics Journal (Jan. 1987, 18:1), Arthur Segal proposed the following model for weight loss or gain:
where w(t) is a person’s weight (in pounds) after t days of consuming exactly C calories per day. Use this model to solve Problems 75–78.
78. Weight loss. A person weighing 175 pounds would like to lose 10 pounds during a 45-day period. How many calories per day should this person consume to reach this goal?

During one year, there were 10 Atlantic basin hurricanes. Their maximum wind speeds, in miles per hour (mph), were as shown in the following table. 1 85 100 110 80 105 80 115 90 90 115 Consider these storms a population of interest.
