Answer:
(B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of fluid in the tank =1000 gallons
Initial Amount of Salt in the tank, A(0)= 30 pounds
Incoming brine solution of concentration 2 pounds of salt per gallon is pumped in at a rate of 4 gallons per minute.
Rate In=(concentration of salt in inflow)(input rate of brine)
The resulting mixture is pumped out at the same rate, therefore:
Rate Out =(concentration of salt in outflow)(output rate of brine)
Therefore:
The rate of change of amount of salt in the tank,

Explanation:
The given piecewise function is
At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations
- f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
- f(x) = -x^3 when
- f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8
In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.
If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.
-----------------------
f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition
f(x) = -4x+3
f(-5) = -4(-5)+3
f(-5) = 20+3
f(-5) = 23
------------------------
Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition
f(x) = 3x^2+1
f(12) = 3(12)^2+1
f(12) = 3(144)+1
f(12) = 432+1
f(12) = 433
------------------------
Side notes:
- We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
- To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example,
is the same as x<=5
