Question

the graph of ( y = f(x) ) represents the amount of water in thousands of gallons remaining in a swimming pool after ( x ) days. (a) estimate the initial and final amounts of water contained in the pool the initial amount of water contained in the pool was 50 thousands of gallons the final amount of water contained in the pool was ( square ) thousands of gallons

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the initial amount

The initial amount is when \(x = 0\). From the graph, when \(x=0\), \(y = 50\) (thousands of gallons).

Step2: Identify the final amount

The final amount is when \(x = 5\). From the graph, when \(x = 5\), \(y=26\) (thousands of gallons).

Answer:

The final amount of water contained in the pool was \(26\) thousands of gallons.
