Answer:

960 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first day:

Subtract the primary level of water by the 20% of it. 20% of 1500 is:

$0.2*1500=300$ (Convert the percent to decimal)

Then subtract 1500 to 300. That would become 1200cm for the first day.

For the second day:

Subtract the level of water from the first day by 20% of it. 20% of 1200 is:

$0.2*1200= 240$

Then subtract 1200 to 240. That would become 960 for the second day.

The level of the water after 2 days is 960 cm.

Answer:

13. Linear Function

12. Absolute Value Function

11. Quadratic Function

10. Constant and Linear Function

Step-by-step explanation:

13. This graph is in Slope-Intercept Form, $y = mx + b$ . The equation of this line is $y = x + 1$ .

12. This graph obviously is an Absolute Value graph because it is in the shape of a "V".

11. This graph is in the shape of a parabola, so it is considered "Quadratic".

10. This line is constant because it is a horizontal line, but it is ALSO considered a linear function because it is in the form of $y = mx + b$ , and the equation of this line is $y = -2$ , where you have NO rate of change [slope]. This is what you call horizontal lines, zero slopes.
