Question

A. The amount of water in a tank t minutes after it has started to drain is given by = 100( − 15) 2 . I. At what rate is the water running out at the end of 5 minutes? Ii. What is the average rate at which the water flows out during the first 5 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer:

a)-2000

b)-2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

W(t) = 100(t-15)²

applying derivation on both sides

W'(t) = 200(t-15)

->a) At what rate is the water running out at the end of 5 minutes?

Evaluating at t=5

W'(5)= 100(5-15) =>200(-10)

W'(5)=-2000

->b) What is the average rate at which the water flows out during the first 5 minutes?

$\frac{W(5)-W(0)}{5-0} =\frac{100(5-15)^2*100(0-15)^2}{5} =>\frac{10000-22500}{5}$

=>-2500
