Answer:

f(x) = 1/2(4 - x)(x - 1)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering zero's and a coefficient, the function is:

f(x) = a(x - 4)(x - 1)(x - 2)

Considering y-intercept:

f(0) = a(0 - 4)(0 - 1)(0 - 2)

4 = a(-4)(-1)(-2)

4 = -8a

a = -1/2

So the function is:

f(x) = -1/2(x - 4)(x - 1)(x - 2) = 1/2(4 - x)(x - 1)(x - 2)

If we want to calculate the time it takes to fill a water tank, we need the flow and volume of the tank.
The flow must be a data, but for the volume of the tank we need mathematics.
For example, if it is a cylinder, we need mathematics to know that the volume of the cylinder is:

Answer:

A coordinate grid that shows a point located halfway between 3 and 4 units to the right and 1 unit down from the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coordinate grid, the y axis is plotted on the vertical axis and the x axis is plotted on the horizontal axis. A is plotted on a coordinate grid at ( $3\frac{1}{2},-1$ ) i.e ( $\frac{7}{2},-1$ ). Above the origin is the positive y axis, below the origin is the negative y axis, right of the origin is the positive x axis and left of the origin is the negative x axis.

To plot A on the coordinate axis we need to locate $3\frac{1}{2}$ on the x axis and -1 on the y axis. $3\frac{1}{2}$ is halfway between 3 and 4, since the x coordinate is positive it is located to the right between 3 and 4 and since the y coordinate is negative it is located 1 unit down from the origin.
