Answer:
raj’s bathtub is clogged and is draining at a rate of 1.5 gallons of water per minute. (given)
thus, rate of draining of water gallons per minute = -1.5
amount of water remaining in the bathtub = y,
the function of the time in minutes that it has been draining = x, .
at 0 minutes the amount of water is 40 gallons.
thus,the volume of water is 40 is decreasing at the rate of 1.5 gallons per minute
the given function is a linear function
y = 0
however, the volume of water can be 0 but cannot ever be negative.
thus, the range of y will be all real numbers such that 0≤y≤40
