Answer:
0.2071
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like the graph is of the function ...
y = √(x +8) -2
We know that (-4, 0) is one point on the graph. The other point of interest is at x=0, where y = √8 -2 ≈ 0.8284.
The average rate of change on the interval is then ...
m = (0.8284 -0)/(0 -(-4)) = 0.2071
The average rate of change on the interval is about 0.2071.
_____
<em>Rougher estimate</em>
The graph goes through the points (-4, 0) and (1, 1), so has a slope of 1/5 = 0.2 on the interval [-4, 1]. We know the graph does not go through (0, 1), so the slope is not as high as 1/4 = 0.25. The curve is concave downward, so the average slope will be higher than 0.2, but we aren't sure how much higher.
A reasonable estimate of the rate of change on the interval is "a little more than 0.2, but less than 0.25."
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of water in tank 1 = amount of water in tank 2
30t +25 = -20t + 1000
Add 20t to both sides
30t + 20t + 25 = -20t + 20t + 1000
50t + 25 = 1000
Subtract 25 from both sides
50t + 25 - 25 = 1000 - 25
50t = 975
Divide both sides by 50
t = 975/50 = 39/2
t = 19 minutes 30 seconds
After 19 1/2 minutes both tanks will have 610 liters of water
