A: Table 1: f(x) = 8x X= cups so ounces = 8* # of cups Table 2: f(x) =16x X= pints so ounces = 16*# of pints Table 3: f(x)= 32x X= quarts so ounces= 32*# of quarts Note: another way instead of f(x)=kx is y=kx B: Depending on the slope we can easily find which is the steepest slope by easily comparing the slopes and seeing which is greater. T1: 8 T2: 16 T3: 32 So, looking at our slopes, table 3 has the greatest slope because it has the greater slope out of the other two. C: The phrase, "rate of change" is another way to say the slope. To list again, T1: 8 T2: 16 T3: 32 The table with the smallest slope would be table 1 since it is less than the other two tables.
I hope that helps, if you need any more assistance or you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!
Um... it'll take each pipe 80 mins, bcz if together they take that long, then to find the pipes time separately, you just multiply it by two to show it doing the work the other pipe did as well. Is that what you wanted??
