When draining her hot tub, the height of the water in Brittany’s hot tub decreases at a rate of 2 inches per minute. After 9 min

utes there are 11 inches of water in the tub. Assume that the height is decreasing at a constant rate.
a. Write an equation for the height of water left in the tub (h) as a function of the number of the minutes (t) that have elapsed.

b. What values of the domain, t, make sense? Why?

c. What values of the range, h, make sense? Why?

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let's give the starting amount of water as s. Every minute, 2 inches of water are lost, meaning that given the starting amount, s, we subtract 2 inches from s every minute, so s - 2 every minute = height of water left, so s - 2t (t representing minutes) = h

To figure out s, we simply plug our known value -- 9 minutes in and 11 inches left. s - 2(9) = 11, s-18=11, s= 29

29 - 2t = h

b. We know that we cannot have negative minutes, so the minimum amount of time that makes sense is 0. To figure out the maximum, we stop counting how much time has occurred when there is no water left, so we have to figure out when h = 0

29-2t = h = 0

t=14.5

Therefore, anything between 0 and 14.5 minutes makes sense

c. Anything between 0 and 29 makes sense because the height of water cannot be negative and we cannot get higher than the starting amount

Find the vertex and zeros of the following function f(x)=x^2-6x-7
elena-s [515]

Try this solution:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) for zeros of the function: x²-6x-7=0; ⇒ x₁=7; x₂= -1.

2) for the vertex of the function: x₀= -b/2a, where a;b;c - numbers from ax²+bx+c=0 (from x²-6x-7=0).

x₀=6/2=3;

y₀= (4ac-b²)/4a; ⇒ y₀= -16.

It means, the coordinates of the vertex are (3;-16).

For which intervals below is the average rate of change less than or equal to zero?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Intervals A and C only

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The graph show a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex represent a minimum

The vertex is the point  (-6,-9)

Remember that the vertex is a turning point

That means

In the interval (-∞,-6) the function is decreasing (rate of change is negative)

In the interval (-6,∞) the function is increasing (rate of change is positive)

therefore

<u><em>Verify each case</em></u>

Interval A) A -13 ≤ x ≤ -10

Belong to the decreasing interval, so the rate of change is negative

Interval B) -5 ≤ x ≤ 0

Find the rate of change

the average rate of change is equal to

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

In this problem we have

a=-5

b=0

f(a)=f(-5)=9  

f(b)=f(0)=0

Substitute

\frac{9-0}{0+5}=9/5

so

Interval B the rate of change is positive

Interval C) --10 ≤ x ≤ -2

Find the rate of change

the average rate of change is equal to

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

In this problem we have

a=-10

b=-2

f(a)=f(-10)=-5  

f(b)=f(-2)=-5

Substitute

\frac{-5+5}{-2+10}=0

so

Interval C the rate of change is zero

therefore

Intervals A and C only
