At the same time the water tank has a leak and the volume of water draining out of the tank is given by the formula L(t) = 15t2 gallons per minute, where t is in minutes. \r

Algebra.Com's Answer #767310 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "The statement of the problem is incorrect. \n" ); document.write( "The difference between the two functions showing how fast water is being pumped in and how fast it is leaking out only tell you how the volume is changing as a function of time; it does NOT give you the volume as a function of time. \n" ); document.write( "So the function showing how the volume of water is changing (\"C(t)\") is \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Then the VOLUME function V(t) is the initial volume V(0) plus C(t). \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: \n" ); document.write( "The volume function is \n" ); document.write( " |
