An above-ground swimming pool is leaking. The function h(d) = 48 - 1. 5d gives the height of the water in the pool in inches d d
1 answer:
Answer:
A) 48 in : initial height of the water
B) 40.5 in : height of the water after 5 days
C) 32 days
D) Yes, should be restricted.
Domain: 0 ≤ d ≤ 32
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
48 in is the initial height of the water
B)
40.5 in is the height of the water after 5 days
C) when the pool is empty, h = 0.
So set the equation to zero and solve for d.
D) Yes, the domain should be restricted because when d > 32, h < 0 and the height of the water in the pool cannot be negative
Domain: 0 ≤ d ≤ 32

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
