3.16 is the correct answer
Answer:
the amount of time until 23 pounds of salt remain in the tank is 0.088 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The variation of the concentration of salt can be expressed as:

being
C1: the concentration of salt in the inflow
Qi: the flow entering the tank
C2: the concentration leaving the tank (the same concentration that is in every part of the tank at that moment)
Qo: the flow going out of the tank.
With no salt in the inflow (C1=0), the equation can be reduced to

Rearranging the equation, it becomes

Integrating both sides

It is known that the concentration at t=0 is 30 pounds in 60 gallons, so C(0) is 0.5 pounds/gallon.

The final equation for the concentration of salt at any given time is

To answer how long it will be until there are 23 pounds of salt in the tank, we can use the last equation:

There are 16 oz in a Pound. Take 14.99 and divide it by 16. This will give you the cost per oz. 14.99/16= .936875
For the definition of <em>horizontal</em> compression, the function f(x) = x² is horizontally compressed to the function g(x) = (k · x)², for 0 < k < 1.
<h3>How to find the resulting equation after applying a compression</h3>
Here we must narrow a given function by a <em>rigid</em> operation known as compression. <em>Rigid</em> transformations are transformations in which <em>Euclidean</em> distances are conserved. In the case of functions, we define the horizontal compression in the following manner:
g(x) = f(k · x), for 0 < k < 1 (1)
If we know that f(x) = x², then the equation of g(x) is:
g(x) = (k · x)², 0 < k < 1
For the definition of <em>horizontal</em> compression, the function f(x) = x² is horizontally compressed to the function g(x) = (k · x)², for 0 < k < 1.
