@ganeshie8 help in here please? I'm about to go :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you(:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what have you tried ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 can you please please please explain each step so i can see how to do it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried to do it the way that she explaind to me last question but i dont think it is like that and i dont have my book and i got it assigned today

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

have you understood the problem ? you're given a table of values showing how fast the water is leaking out at different times

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to find the total amount of water leaked out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the rate decreases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i get that lol, the problem i have is how, if you dont have time to help me i could just ask someone else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17.4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how did u get 17.4 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh thats for the amount of water in the first 2 hours, yes thats right!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

similarly calculate the amount leaked between 2->4 hours by assuming the rate is constant

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You shoudl end up with \[2(8.7 + 7.6 + 6.8 + 6.2 + 5.7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes sir!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what next? @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

70 is the estimation for total amount of water leaked. Have you really read the problem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but it says Find the upper estimate (left end-points of each rectangle) for the total amount of water that leaked out by using five rectangles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh, it was that easy?.... cause this is a calc problem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

calc is always easy

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its the algebra part and other things that make calc feel painful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ehhh hahah
