Question

Raj’s bathtub is clogged and is draining at a rate of 1.5 gallons of water per minute. The table shows that the amount of water remaining in the bathtub, y, is a function of the time in minutes, x, that it has been draining. what is the range of this function

Answer 1

Answer:

raj’s bathtub is clogged and is draining at a rate of 1.5 gallons of water per minute. (given)

thus, rate of draining of water gallons per minute = -1.5

amount of water remaining in the bathtub = y,

the function of the time in minutes that it has been draining = x, .

at 0 minutes the amount of water is 40 gallons.

thus,the volume of water is 40 is decreasing at the rate of 1.5 gallons per minute

the given function is a linear function  

y = 0

however, the volume of water can be 0 but cannot ever be negative.

thus, the range of y will be all real numbers such that 0≤y≤40
