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
1. Answer (D). By the law of sines, we have in any
2. Answer (C). The law of cosines, accepts up to three sides and an angle as an input.
3. Answer (D). Although this triangle is right, we are not given enough information to uniquely determine its sides and angles - here, we need either one more side or one more angle.
4. Answer (D). Don't get tripped up by answer choice (C) - this is just a rearrangement of the statement of the law of cosines. In choice (D), the signs of and
are reversed.
5. Answer (B). By the law of sines, we have Solving gives
Note that this is the <em>ambiguous (SSA) case</em> of the law of sines, where the given measures could specify one triangle, two triangles, or none at all!
6. Answer (A). Since we know all three sides and none of the angles, starting with the law of sines will not help, so we begin with the law of cosines to find one angle; from there, we can use the law of sines to find the remaining angles.
