Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the tank starts empty. It means that in 1 hour the tank has half that water, or 3600 gallons. And the good thing of lines passing through 0.0 is that the value at 1 IS the slope we need. ie 3600.

At this point it's easy to find that if in 2 hours it filled 1/10th of the tank, in 20 hours the tank will be full.

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = 2x – 10?
posledela

Hey there!!

f(x) is basically ' y '

In order to inverse a equation, we will need to switch the values of x and y

The equation :

y = 2x - 10

Now switching the positions :

x = 2y - 10

x + 10 = 2y

y = \frac{x+10}{2}

y = \frac{x}{2} + 5

This is the inverse.

Hope my answer helps!

Is one side of a rectangular fish tank best represented by a point, line, plane, or ray?
Inessa05 [86]
<span>One side of a rectangular fish tank can be best represented by a plane because it is two dimensional.Whereas,point,line or a ray are all one dimensional and hence they cannot represent a rectangle as it has two dimensions.</span>
