Answer:

Volume is the amount of space taken up by an object, while capacity is the measure of an object's ability to hold a substance, like a solid, a liquid or a gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is measured in cubic units, while capacity can be measured in almost every other unit, including liters, gallons, pounds, etc.

Find the range of the function for the given domain. f(x) = 2x - 7 ; {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Studentka2010 [4]

The domain is a discrete set. So we will have a discrete range.

The range is a set containing:

f(-2)=-11

f(-1)=-9

f(0) = -7

f(1) = -5

f(2) = -3

Range = {-11,-9,-7,-5,-3}

Suppose that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a large mixing tank initially holds 400 gallons of water in which 70 pounds of salt have been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank at a rate of 4 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is then pumped out at the same rate.

Let Q(t) be the quantity of salt at time t.

Q(0) = 70 pounds

Inflow of water = outflow = 4 gal/min

So resulting volume of tank at time t = 400 gallons

Rate of change of salt = inflow - outflow

= 0 - $\frac{Q(t)}{400}$

i.e. $\frac{dQ}{dt} =\frac{-Q(t)}{400}$

This is a variable separable equation

$\frac{dQ}{Q}=-\frac{dt}{400} \\ln Q = {-\frac{t}{400}} +C\\Q = A e^{-\frac{t}{400}}$

Use when t =0 Q = 70

A =70

So A(t) = Q(t) = $70 e^{-\frac{t}{400}}$ and

A(0) = Q(0) = 70 lbs.

Use the following graph of the function f(x) = x3 − 3x2 − x + 3 to answer this question: graph of x cubed minus 3 x squared minu

Marina CMI [18]

The average rate of change is also known as the slope. If we are looking to find the average rate of change between x = -1 and x = 2, in order to find the slope between those 2 x values, we need the y's that go along with them. Fill in -1 for x in the function and solve for y: $(-1)^3-3(-1)^2-(-1)+3=0$ . That means that the coordinate is (-1, 0). Fill in 2 for x in the function and solve for y: $(2)^3-3(2)^2-(2)+3=-3$ . The coordinate there is (2, -3). Now we can set up the slope formula to find the average rate of change between those 2 points: $\frac{-3-0}{2-(-1)}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$ . Therefore, the average rate of change between x = -1 and x = 2 is -1
