I beleieve the answer is false
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. Using two points on the line (0, 2) and (4, 12), find the gradient:
Gradient = ∆y/∆x = (12 - 2) / (4 - 0) = 10/4 = 2.5
Gradient = 2.5
b. The gradient, 2.5, represents the unit rate. That is, the volume of the oil in the tank per second.
i.e. 2.5 litres per second
c. The value, L = 2 represents the y-intercept, which is the starting value or initial volume of oil in the tank at 0 secs.
Answer:
It will take 7 weeks for Michael to reach his goal.
Step-by-step explanation:
600=50(1.5)^x
12=1.5^x
x≈6.13
So, first let's refill the barrel to the top:
37.5 + 7*2.5 = 55
Now that it's full again, let's divide the total amount by the rate of water loss:
55/2.5 = 22
It will take 22 minutes to completely empty the rain barrel
