You can put this solution on YOUR website! nermal is a monster who eats cheese. nermal starts off weighing 2 pounds. for every pound of cheese he eats, he gains 1/2 pound. when he reaches 2000 pounds, he will explode.
a.) if nermals weight is the x-variable,what is the domain?
Domain: 2<= x <= 2000
--------------------------------------
b.) assume that the cheese eaten is the y- variable. is the range the set of all real numbers? why or why not ?

Find the amount of cheese he needs to eat to arrive at 2000 pounds.
(2000-2)/(1/2) = 1998/(1/2) = 3996 lbs
---
Range: 0<= y <= 3996
