The first tank contains

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water after <em>t</em> weeks.

Similarly, the second tank contains

648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water.

The tanks hold the same amount of water when these two amounts are equal:

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

(7 gal/week) <em>t</em> - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - 486 gal

(3 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 162 gal

<em>t</em> = (162 gal) / (3 gal/week)

<em>t</em> = 54 weeks

Jessica is a custodian at Oracle Arena. She waxes 20 \text{ m}^220 m 2 20, space, m, start superscript, 2, end superscript of th
Evgesh-ka [11]

Given that Jessica is a custodian at Oracle Arena.

She waxes 20 square meters space of the floor in 5/3 of an hour. Jessica waxes the floor at a constant rate means rate will remain fixed for any hour.

Now we have to find about how many square meters can she wax per hour.

To find that we just need to divide 20 squaer meters by 5/3 hours

\frac{20}{\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)}

=20\cdot\frac{3}{5}

=\frac{60}{5}

=12

Hence final answer is 12 square meters can she wax per hour.

Which can also be written as 12m^2 per hour.

Calculate the average rate of change over the interval 2
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Average rate of change over the interval 2<= x <= 5:

y = 3x + 5:        3

y = 3x^2 + 1:     21

y = 3^x:             78

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

2<= x <= 5

Average rate of change over the interval 2<= x <= 5:

<u>y = 3x + 5</u>

y(5) = 3(5) + 5 = 20

y(2) = 3(2) + 5 = 11

Average rate of change = (20 - 11)/(5-2) = 9/3 = <u>3</u>

<u />

<u>y = 3x^2 + 1</u>

y(5) = 3(5^2) + 1 = 75 + 1 = 76

y(2) = 3(2^2) + 1= 13

Average rate of change = (76 - 13)/(5-2) = 63/3 = <u>21</u>

<u />

<u>y = 3^x</u>

y(5) = 3^5 = 243

y(2) = 3^2 =9

Average rate of change = (243-9)/(5-2) = 234/3 =<u> 78</u>
