If    denotes the weight in pounds of an individual, and    denotes the time in months, then    is the rate of weight gain or loss in lbs/mo. The current speed record for weight loss is a drop in weight from 487 pounds to 130 pounds over an eight month period. Show that the rate of weight loss exceeded 44 lbs/mo at some time during the eight month period.
