Question

kareem is filling a tank with water. the function graphed below shows the amount of water, v(x) (in liters), in the tank x minutes after he started
find v(13) and interpret this value.
(a) v(13) = 390
(b) the answer to part (a) means that after u0001dcc4 minutes there are u0001dcc4 liters in the tank.

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the function notation

The function \( V(x) \) represents the amount of water (in liters) in the tank \( x \) minutes after Kareem started filling it. When \( x = 13 \), \( V(13)=390 \).

Step2: Interpret the meaning

In the context of the problem, the input of the function is time (in minutes) and the output is the amount of water (in liters). So, \( V(13) = 390 \) means that after \( 13 \) minutes, the amount of water in the tank is \( 390 \) liters.

Answer:

(a) \( V(13) = 390 \) means that after \( 13 \) minutes, the amount of water in the tank is \( 390 \) liters. So for part (b), the answer is \( 390 \) liters.

• (a) \( 13 \) minutes
• (b) \( 390 \)
