The Point-Slope Equation: Pt 3

Mathematics
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y = -1/20x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The family trip is a linear model and its equation can be written as a linear equation y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is the constant rate of change. The rate of change here is 1 gallon per 20 miles or -1/20 since each gallon used decreases from the overall gas tank. Substitute m = -1/20.

The y-intercept is the starting point or the number of gallons the tank in the van holds. Since the van had 16 gallons after 120 miles, this means there was 22 gallons. Since 120 miles has been spent at 20 miles a gallon, it took 120 / 20 = 6 gallons to drive that far. So 16 + 6 = 22 gallons. Substitute b = 22.

y = mx + b

y = -1/20x + 22

A trough is 10 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 4 ft across at the top and have a height of 1
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

7.5 ft³/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the depth below the surface of the water. The height, h of the water is thus h = 10 - x.

Now, the volume of water V = Ah where A = area of isosceles base of trough = 1/2bh' where b = base of triangle = 4 ft and h' = height of triangle = 1 ft. So, A = 1/2 × 4 ft × 1 ft = 2 ft²

So, V = Ah = 2h = 2(10 - x)

The rate of change of volume is thus

dV/dt = d[2(10 - x)]/dt = -2dx/dt

Since dV/dt = 15 ft³/min,

dx/dt = -(dV/dt)/2 = -15 ft³/min ÷ 2 = -7.5 ft³/min

Since the height of the water is h = 10 - x, the rate at which the water level is rising is dh/dt = d[10 - x]/dt

= -dx/dt

= -(-7.5 ft³/min)

= 7.5 ft³/min

And the height at this point when x = 8 inches = 8 in × 1 ft/12 in  = 0.67 ft is h = (10 - 0.67) ft = 9.33 ft
