Answer:

Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the volume of the tower was not indicated.

Let's consider the following question:

If there are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot, and the volume of the tower is around 36000in cubed. Residents of the apartment building are using the water from the tower at an average rate of 56 gallons per minute, determine how long it will take to drain the entire tower.

Solution:

Volume = 36000in³

Conversion of in³ to ft³

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

12 inch = 1 ft

1 ft³ = 1ft × 1ft × 1ft

= 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in³

36000in³ × [(1ft³)/(1728 in³) = (36000/1728)ft³

= 20.833ft³

Volume = 20.833ft³

There are 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot

In 20.833ft³ = 20.833ft³× (7.48 gallons/1ft³)

= 20.833× 7.48gallons

Volume = 155.83 gallons

The rate of usage = 56 gallons per minute

The rate of usage for 155.83 gallons = 155.83 gallons × (1min/56gallons)

= (155.83/56)minute

= 2.8minutes

Time it will take to drain the entire tower = 2.8minutes

How do you graph D? PLz explain. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
yanalaym [24]
See the attached image for the graph. Specifically figure 2 is the graph you want. You can leave the red points on the graph or decide to erase them (leave behind the blue line though). 

To generate each of the red points, you'll plug in various x values to get corresponding y values.

For instance, plug in x = 0 and we get...
y = -|x-6| - 6
y = -|0-6| - 6
y = -|-6| - 6
y = -6 - 6
y = -12
So when x = 0, the y value is -12. The x and y value pair up to get (x,y) = (0,-12)

Another example: plug in x = 2
y = -|x-6| - 6
y = -|2-6| - 6
y = -|-4| - 6
y = -4 - 6
y = -10
So the point (2,-10) is on the graph

The idea is to generate as many points as possible so we get an idea of what this thing looks like. 

Generate enough points, and you'll get what you see in Figure 1 (see attached image)

Then draw a line through all of the points. The more points you use, the more accurate the drawing. Doing that will generate the blue function curve you see in Figure 2 (also attached)
