A tank of liquid has both an inlet pipe allowing liquid to be added to the tank and a drain allowing liquid to be drained from the tank.


The rate at which liquid is entering the tank through the inlet pipe is modeled by the function i(x)=3x^2+2 , where the rate is measured in gallons per hour. The rate at which liquid is being drained from the tank is modeled by the function d(x)=4x−1 , where the rate is measured in gallons per hour.


What does (i−d)(3) mean in this situation?


There are 18 gallons of liquid in the tank at t = 3 hours.

The rate at which the amount of liquid in the tank is changing at t = 3 hours is 40 gallons per hour.

There are 40 gallons of liquid in the tank at t = 3 hours.

The rate at which the amount of liquid in the tank is changing at t = 3 hours is 18 gallons per hour.

Answer:

Correct answer:  First answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Where x is independently variable and refers to the elapsed time and

( i-d )(x) is a function or dependent variable and shows the number of gallons during that time.

f (x) = ( i-d )₍ₓ₎ = 3 x² + 2 - ( 4 x - 1) = 3 x² - 4 x + 3

( i-d )₍ₓ₎ = 3 x² - 4 x + 3

( i-d ) (3) = 3 · 3² - 4 · 3 + 3 = 27 - 12 + 3 = 18

( i-d ) (3) = 18 gallons after 3 hours in the tank

God is with you!!!

There are 18 gallons of liquid in the tank at t = 3 hours

How to elaborate the problem ?

The liquid tank has both an inlet pipe to add liquid and a drain pipe to drain liquid from the tank.

The modeled function of inlet pipe = i(x) = 3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+2

The modeled function of drain pipe = d(x) = 4x-1 ,

where the rate is measured in gallons per hour in both functions.

What is the correct option ?

(i-d)(x) = 3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+2-(4x-1)

⇒ (i-d)(x) =  3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+2-4x+1

⇒ (i-d)(x) =   3[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-4x+3

⇒ (i-d)(3) = 3×[tex]3^{2}[/tex]-4×3+3

⇒ (i-d)(3) = 27-12+3

⇒ (i-d)(3) = 18
