11. A tank is being filled up with water. At t=0, we know that the tank holds 150 gallons of water, and after one hour ( t=1) , it holds 180 gallons of water.
a) Assuming that the volume of water in the tank, V, is a linear function of time, t, in hours,
find a formula for V ( linear function)

b) BY what percent did the volume of water increase from t=0 to t= 1?

V = 30t + 15020%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initial volume = 150 galVolume after 1 hour = 180 gal

a) The volume formula will be:

V = 30t + 150

As 150 is y-intersect (volume at zero time) and the rate of change (the slope) is 30 gal per hour

b) Increase of volume by percent:

30 gal increase on top of 150 gal

30/150*100% = 20%

Period is the time it takes for one “cycle” to complete. in the parent sine function, period is 2*pi since sin(0) = 0, sin(pi/2) = 1, sin(pi) = 0, sin(3pi/2) = -1, and sin(2pi) = 0. at that point, the sequence repeats itself. i’m not sure if your graph is similar to the sine function since you didn’t provide a picture, but you can find the period by looking at a graph.
