Answer:
The water level is falling.
The initial level of water in the pool was 3,500 units
The water was 2,600 units high after 4 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function that models the water level is
where represents time in hours.
The function represents a straight line that has slope
Since the slope is negative, it means the water level is falling.
The initial level of water in the pool can found when we put into the function.
, hence the initial level is 3,500.
To determine the level of water in the pool after 14 hours, we put into the equation to get;
To determine the water level after 4 hours we put
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x means you have to factor. First factor out the GCF of 2 to get:
and now we'll factor using the regular old method of ac and then factoring by grouping. In our polynomial, a = 3, b = 1, c = -6. Therefore, a times c is 3 * -6 which is -18. We need some combinations of the factors of 18 that will add to give us 1, the b term in the middle. The factors of 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6 and that's it. Hm...it seems that won't work, so let's throw this into the quadratic formula, going back to the original and a = 6, b = 2 and c = -12:
and
and
and
and
which finally simplifies to
No wonder that didn't factor using the traditional method of factoring! We could have found that out by finding first the value of the discriminant, but oh well!
