Question

w ( t ) = 300 - 4 t The function w models the volume of liquid, in milliliters, in a container t seconds after it begins draining from a hole at the bottom. According to the model, what is the predicted volume, in milliliters, draining from the container each second?

Accepted Answer

Choice D is correct. It&rsquo;s given that the function w models the volume of liquid, in milliliters, in a container t seconds after it begins draining from a hole at the bottom. The given function w t = 300 - 4 t can be rewritten as w t = - 4 t + 300 . Thus, for each increase of t by 1 , the value of w t decreases by 4 ( 1 ) , or 4 . Therefore, the predicted volume, in milliliters, draining from the container each second is 4 milliliters. Choice A is incorrect. This is the amount of liquid, in milliliters, in the container before the liquid begins draining. Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
