A large mixing tank currently contains 50 gallons of water into which 5 pounds of sugar have been mixed. A tap will open puring 20 gallons per minute iof water into the tank at the same time sugar is poured into the tank at a rate of 2 pounds per minute. Find the concentration (pounds per gallon) of sugar in the tank after 8 minutes. Is that a greater concentration than at the beginning? ____ Write a function C(t) = _____ What will the concentration be in 8 minutes? ___
Rate of Change
The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.
Slope
The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:
