EMERGENCY HELP! A steady stream of water flows into a partially-filled rectangular tank. After 6 minutes, there are 87 gallons o

f water in the tank. After 21 minutes, there are 222 gallons. Write an equation to represent the volume of water in the tank y after x minutes. How much water was in the tank to begin?

Answer:

y=9x+33

33 gallons of water to begin with.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we essentially are given two coordinates: (6,87) and (21,222). To find an equation, we simply need to find the slope and y-intercept. We know it's a linear equation because it's a steady stream, meaning a constant slope.

The slope is:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{222-87}{21-6}=135/15=9

So, the rate at which the stream flows is 9 gallons per minute.

Now, let's find the initial amount of water. To do this, we can use point-slope form. Pick either of the two points. I'm going to use (6,87).

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-87=9(x-6)\\y-87=19-54\\y=9x+33

So, there were 33 gallons of water in the tank to begin with.

Let $f(x)$ be a function defined for all positive real numbers satisfying the conditions $f(x) > 0$ for all $x > 0$ and $f
algol [13]
Suppose we choose x=1 and y=\dfrac12. Then

f(x-y)=\sqrt{f(xy)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\sqrt{f\left(\dfrac12\right)+1}\implies f\left(\dfrac12\right)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2


Now suppose we choose x,y such that

\begin{cases}x-y=\dfrac12\\\\xy=2009\end{cases}


where we pick the solution for this system such that x>y>0. Then we find

\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2=\sqrt{f(2009)+1}\implies f(2009)=\dfrac{1+\sqrt5}2

Note that you can always find a solution to the system above that satisfies x>y>0 as long as x>\dfrac12. What this means is that you can always find the value of f(x) as a (constant) function of f\left(\dfrac12\right).
