The water level in a retention pond started a 5 ft (60 in.) and decreased at a rate of 2 in./day during a 14-day drought. A trop

ical depression moved through at the beginning of the 15 day and proceed rain at an average rate of 2.4 in./day for 5 days.(a) Write a piecewise - defined function to model the water level L(x) (in inches) as a function of the number of days x since the beginning of the drought.(b) Graph the function.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the water level is modelled for 2 different situations as

1) Period of Drought

Since the initial level of the pond at the start of our model is 60 inches and the rate of decrease is 2 inches per day the model can be replaced by a straight line

y=mt+c

where

'y' is the water level in the pool at any time 't'

'C' is the water level at the start given as 60 inches

'm' is the rate of decrease of the water level given as -2 inches per day

't' is the time in days from the start of the model thus applying the given values we get

y(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix}60-2t\end{matrix}\right.(t\leq 14)

The water level at the end of the 14 days  is

y(14)=60-2\times 14=32

Now since after 14 days the water level begins to rise at a rate 2.4 inches per day from a balance of 32 inches the water level is similarly modelled as above

y'(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix}32+2.4t\end{matrix}\right.(t\geq  14)

Thus the combined function can be represented as

y(t)=\left\{\begin{matrix}(60-2t)(0< t\leq 14)\\\\32+2.4t(t\geq 14) & \\  & \end{matrix}

The graph is shown in the attached figure below

When the turnpike littered the toll, traffic increased from 1,500 cars per day to 2,700
umka21 [38]

Answer:

  80%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change between two numbers can be calculated as ...

  percentage change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

  = (2700/1500 -1) × 100% = (1.80 -1) × 100% = 80%

Traffic volume increased 80%.

What is the correct symbol?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Since 10/9 is greater than 1, multiplying by 10/9 makes the value larger

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Solve the fraction

10/9 = 1.1112

Therefore 10/9 > 1

Step 2: Multiple the fraction by itself

10/9 x 10/9 = 100/81

Convert fraction to decimals

100/81 = 1.2345678901.....

1.234567901 > 1.1112

Therefore 10/9 x 10/9 is bigger than 10/9
