You pull out the plug from the bathtub. After 40 seconds, there are 13 gallons of water left in the tub. One minute after you pu

ll the plug, there are 10 gallons left.
Assume that the number of gallons varies linearly with the time since the plug was pulled.


Write the particular equation expressing the number of gallons (g) left in the tub in terms of the number of seconds (s) since you pulled the plug.​

Answer:

  • g = -3/20s + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume this is a function

<u>The points are</u>

  • (40, 13) and (60, 10)

<u>Since it is linear relation, we'll get the slope intercept form</u>

  • g = ms + b, where g- number of gallons, s- time in seconds, b- y intercept

<u>Using the points, let's calculate the formula</u>

  • m = (10 - 13)/(60 - 40) = -3/20
  • 10 = -3/20*60 + b
  • 10 = - 9 + b
  • b = 19

<u>So the formula is:</u>

  • g = -3/20s + 19

Compare the functions shown below:<br><br> Which function has the greatest maximum y-value?
solmaris [256]
Answer: It's a tie between f(x) and h(x). Both have the same max of y = 3

The highest point shown on the graph of f(x) is at (x,y) = (pi,3). The y value here is y = 3.

For h(x), the max occurs when cosine is at its largest: when cos(x) = 1. 
So,
h(x) = 2*cos(x)+1
turns into
h(x) = 2*1+1
h(x) = 2+1
h(x) = 3
showing that h(x) maxes out at y = 3 as well

--------------------------------

Note: g(x) has all of its y values smaller than 0, so there's no way it can have a max y value larger than y = 3. See the attached image to see what this graph would look like if you plotted the 7 points. A parabola seems to form. Note how point D = (-3, -2) is the highest point for g(x). So the max for g(x) is y = -2
