Water Jug If a completely full 5-gallon water jug is drained through a spigot, the depth is given by the formula
Where t is the time, in minutes, that the spigot is open and D is the depth, in inches, above the spigot.
a. Make a graph of D versus t. Include values of t up to 7.5 minutes.
b. Calculate
c. When will the water jug be completely drained?
d. Does the water drain faster near the beginning or when the water is mostly drained?

To siphon the water out of the tank, he uses a hose that drains 6.5-gallons out of the tank in 15 minutes. How long will it take the tank to be drained of water? a. Make a table comparing the elapsed time with the amount of water left in the tank over time. NOTE: The x-axis is usually used to represent time. b. Write an equation describing the relationship between the elapsed time and the amount of water remaining in the tank. C. Draw a graph. Discuss the meaning of the x-intercept and the y-intercept in this situation. d. Why might the information from the table in part (a) and the graph in part (b) be important to know?arrow_forwardA.5arrow_forward
