The number of gallons of water in the tank at t=10 is
... W(10) = 160,000 -10(8000 -10) = 80100
The number of gallons of water in the tank at t=10.5 is
... W(10.5) = 160,000 -10.5(8000 -10.5) = 76110.25
The rate of change over the interval is
... (W(10.5) - W(10))/(10.5 - 10) = (76110.25 - 80100)/(0.5) = -7979.5
The average rate of change in the number of gallons of water in the tank over the interval is -7979.5 gal/min.
The sign is negative, so the amount of water is decreasing.
This expression is called the Discriminant, also shown as Δ.
It is equal to b² - 4ac. This is a very important part of the quadratic formula as it determines whether x will have two values, one repeated value or no real values. Here are a few examples.
a) x² - 2x - 1. a is equal to 1 since 1x² = x². b = -2, c = -1
The discriminant will be (-2)² - 4×1×-1 = 4 + 4 = 8.
Since Δ > 0, there are two x values. Graphed, the parabola sinks below the x axis.
b) x². a = 1, b = 0 (0x = 0), c = 0
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×0 = 0 - 0 = 0.
Since Δ = 0, there is only one x value. Graphed, the parabola touches the x axis at only one point.
c) x² + 1. a = 1, c = 1.
The discriminant will be 0² - 4×1×1 = 0 - 4 = -4
Since Δ < 0, there are no real x values. Graphed, the parabola floats above the x axis.

Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
If you add 22 onto the sum of all the points and divide by the amount of games (6), you get 12.
It would be equal to 4
