Yesterday morning, at 6:00 AM, water started leaking from a tank at a constant rate. The tank contained8,496liters of water at 6
GREYUIT [131]

A linear equation can be written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we know that the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) the slope is:

a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

The answers are:

a) y = (-12 L/min)*t + 9,000 L

b) 6,840 L

a) Here we know that we can model this situation with a linear equation, we know that the leak starts at 6:00 am, then we define t = 0 as 6:00 am

We know that at 6:42 am  (at t = 42 mins) the tank has 8,496 liters.

And at 7:15 am (at t = 75 mins) the tank has 8,100 liters.

Then we have two points of the line:

(42 mins, 8,496 liters)

(75 mins, 8,100 liters)

Then the slope is:

a = \frac{8,100 liters - 8,496 liters }{75 mins -42 mins } = -12 L/min

So the line will be something like:

y = (-12 L/min)*t + b

To find the value of b, which is the initial volume of water in the tank, we use the point (75 mins, 8,100 liters)

This means that if t = 75 mins, then we have y = 8,100 L

So we can replace these two on the above equation:

8,100 L = (-12 L/min)*75 mins + b

8,100L = -900L + b

8,100L + 900L = b = 9,000 L

Then the linear equation is:

y = (-12 L/min)*t + 9,000 L

b) Now we want to know how much water is in the tank at 9:00 am.

Notice that 9:00 am is 3 hours after 6:00 am, our t = 0.

Then  9:00am is equivalent to t = 180 mins.

So to know the volume of water that there is in the tank at 9:00 am, we just need to evaluate the linear function at t = 180 mins.

y = (-12 L/min)*180 mins + 9,000 L = 6,840 L

A triangle has 34 degree angle and a 102 degree angle what is the third angle
coldgirl [10]

Answer: 44 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation: Since the sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can figure out the measure of the third angle by adding the first two angles and subtracting the sum from 180. 102 + 34 = 136. 180 - 136 = 44, so the measure of the third angle is 44 degrees.
