@Directrix @zepdrix @mathslover @radar @wio @Compassionate @Luigi0210 Anyone! Please help me!

What would you say about the pool when x reaches 4 and continues until x=7

radar · Answer

Note the graph does not provide any info for x greater than 7, so you can discard choices 2 and 4.

anonymous · Answer

Ah, so would it be 1?

anonymous · Answer

(That's what I think)

radar · Answer

It looks like the pool started getting additional water at x=4 and by the time x=7 had gained 50 gallons, I go along with what you chose.
