A tank holds 3000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in half an hour. The values in the table show the v

olume V of water remaining in the tank (in gallons) after t minutes.
t (min) 5 10 15 20 25 30
V (gal) 2097 1308 780 303 87 0
(a) If P is the point (15, 780) on the graph of V, find the slopes of the secant lines PQ when Q is the point on the graph with the following values. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Answer:

The slope of the secant line PQ is the following for each point:

Q                         Slope (a)

(5, 2097)              -131.7 gal/min

(10, 1308)              -105.6 gal/min

(20, 303)               -95.4 gal/min

(25, 87)                  -69.3 gal/min

(30, 0)                   -52 gal/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope can be easily obtained by using a linear approximation for the 2 points P and Q. In this case, with the slope a:

f(t)=V(t)=at+b

f(t_P)=V_P=at_P+b             (1)

f(t_Q)=V_Q=at_Q+b           (2)

if equations 1 and 2 are subtracted:

V_P-V_Q=at_P -at_Q=a(t_P -t_Q)\\a=\frac{V_P-V_Q}{t_P -t_Q}

3(y+6)=30 solve equation
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

3(y+6)=30

3y + 18 = 30

18 - 30 = 3y

12 = 3y

12/3 = y

4 = y

or

y = 4

What is the period of the cosecant function graphed below?
telo118 [61]
Step-by-step explanation: The cosecant function is graphed in the given figure. we are to find the period of the function.
The period of a function is the distance travelled by the curve of the function in one complete revolution.
We can see that in the given figure, the distance between two consecutive points is given by

Therefore, the period of the cosecant function is
Thus, the correct option is (B) \pi.

Natalie works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $300 per week but is paid a commission on
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:  Natalie make $ 367.5 in a week  in which she made $225 in sales .

Natalie make $ ( 300+x ) in a week  in which she made $ x  in sales .

Step-by-step explanation:

Base Salary of Natalie =  $300

Also, she gets 30% of the her total sales for the week.

If total sales in a week = $225

commission = 30% of $225

= $ ( 0.30 × 225)

= $ 67.5

Natalie got = Base Salary  + Commission

= $300 + $ 67.5

= $ 367.5

∴ Natalie make $ 367.5 in a week  in which she made $225 in sales .

If total sales in a week = $x

commission = 30% of $x

= $ ( 0.30 × x)

= $ 0.30 x

Natalie got = Base Salary  + Commission

= $ ( 300+x )

∴ Natalie make $ ( 300+x ) in a week  in which she made $ x  in sales .
