Answer:
3.14159265359
Step-by-step explanation:
Most people just use 3.14 for math though
Ok so we have the parabola at origin of y=-12 and crosses x-axis at points x=1,8 so, we could just look at where it crosses the x-axis and find it directly from there. it crosses x-axis at 1 and 8 so the answer can only be A to fit this criteria
From inspecting the graph, you can identify the y-intercept and the slope of the line shown.
The y-intercept is 200 gallons.
The slope is
75-200
m = ------------- = -12.5 gallons/minute
10 - 0
Thus, y = 200 gallons - [12.5 gallons/minute ]t
To answer the 2nd question, let t = 12 minutes and calculate y(12).
To determine how long it wld take to empty the tank, set the above formula equal to zero and solve the resulting equation for t.
A) x + y = 17
B) x * y = -168
y = -168/x then inputting this into A)
x + -168/x = 17
x^2 -168 -17x = 0
x = 24 and x = -7
