A swimming pool is being drained so it can be cleaned. The amount of water in the pool is changing according to the función f(t)

= 80,000 - 16,000t , where t = time in hours and f(t) = amount of water in liters. What is the domain of this function in this situation? Explain how you found your answer.

Answer:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the function f(t), t is the independent variable. The domain of f is the set of all values of t that this function can accept.

In this case, f(t) is defined in a real-life context. Hence, consider the real-life constraints on the two variables. Both time and volume should be non-negative. In other words,

  • t \ge 0.
  • f(t) \ge 0.

The first condition is an inequality about t, which is indeed the independent variable.

However, the second condition is about f, the dependent variable of this function. It has to be rewritten as a condition about t.

\begin{aligned} f(t) &\ge 0 &&\text{Assumption} \cr 80000 - 16000\, t& \ge 0 && \text{Definition of} ~ f \cr 80000 & \ge 16000\, t && \begin{aligned}&\text{Add $16000\, t$} \\[-0.5em] & \text{to both sides of the inequality}\end{aligned} \cr 5 &\ge t &&\begin{aligned}&\text{Divide both sides of} \\[-0.5em] & \text{the inequality by $16000$}\end{aligned} \cr t &\le 5 && \text{Flip the inequality}\end{aligned}.

Hence, t ≤ 5.

Combine the two inequalities to obtain the domain:

0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

Let n be a natural number. Show that 3 | n3 −n
Vladimir [108]
Let n=1. Then n^3-n=1^3-1=0. By convention, every non-zero integer n divides 0, so 3\vert n^3-n.

Suppose this relation holds for n=k, i.e. 3\vert k^3-k. We then hope to show it must also hold for n=k+1.

You have

(k+1)^3-(k+1)=(k^3+3k^2+3k+1)-(k+1)=(k^3-k)+3(k^2+k)

We assumed that 3\vert k^3-k, and it's clear that 3\vert 3(k^2+k) because 3(k^2+k) is a multiple of 3. This means the remainder upon divides (k+1)^3-(k+1) must be 0, and therefore the relation holds for n=k+1. This proves the statement.

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.

X = -2

Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
