From:

3.15--------------4 metres in 300 seconds--------------->3.20

The beetle covered a distance of 4 metres in the space of 5 minutes, which is 5*60 seconds. 5*60 seconds is in fact: 300 seconds.

So the beetle was moving at a very slow speed of (1/75) metres per second.

Distance covered = s = 4 meters
Time taken = t = 5 minutes = 4 X 60 = 240 seconds

Speed = s / t = 4 / 240 
 = 0.01667 m/s Answer

Ann is adding water to a swimming pool at a constant rate. The table below shows the amount of water in the pool after different

N76 [4]

Answer:

(a) As time increases, the amount of water in the pool increases.

11 gallons per minute

(b) 65 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From inspection of the table, we can see that as time increases, the amount of water in the pool increases.

We are told that Ann adds water at a constant rate. Therefore, this can be modeled as a linear function.

The rate at which the water is increasing is the rate of change (which is also the slope of a linear function).

Choose 2 ordered pairs from the table:

$\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(8, 153)$

$\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(12,197)$

Input these into the slope formula:

$\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{197-153}{12-8}=\dfrac{44}{4}=11$

Therefore, the rate at which the water in the pool is increasing is:

11 gallons per minute

To find the amount of water that was already in the pool when Ann started adding water, we need to create a linear equation using the found slope and one of the ordered pairs with the point-slope formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$
