I would but I’m stuck on this problem too
Answer:
<em>Pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Rates of change</u>
The rate of change (ROC) is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how fast one variable changes in time.
We are given two rates of change for two pools that are leaking. The first one loses 2/3 gallon in 15 minutes, and the other loses 3/4 gallon in 20 minutes.
To compare them, we are required to express time in hours. Recall one hour has 60 minutes, or equivalently, one minute has 1/60 hours. Converting both times, we have:
15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours
20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hours
Now compute both rates of change:
Pool 1:
Pool 2:
Comparing both ratios, it's clear pool 1 leaks faster than pool 2.
Always true,hope I have helped
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
In this form, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Slope is rise over run. The formula for this is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.
1. Slope = 8 ; Y-intercept = 0
y = mx + b
m = 8 ; b = 0
y = 8x + 0
y = 8x
2. Slope = 1 ; Y-intercept = 2
y = mx + b
m = 1 ; b = 2
y = 1x + 2
y = x + 2
The answer to #1 is y = 8x.
The answer to #2 is y = x + 2.
Hope this helps!
What is the median of the data set? <br>
{10, 15, 14, 14, 10, 10, 8, 18, 11, 12, 17, 16}

The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.
8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle.
The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2.
12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13
So, the median of the data set is: 13.
