Questions: The graph of y=f(x) represents the amount of water in thousands of gallons remaining in a swimming pool after x days.
Transcript text: The graph of $y=f(x)$ represents the amount of water in thousands of gallons remaining in a swimming pool after $x$ days.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the initial amount of water
The graph shows the amount of water in thousands of gallons remaining in a swimming pool over time. At \( x = 0 \) days, the initial amount of water is 48 thousand gallons.
Step 2: Determine the amount of water after 1 day
From the graph, at \( x = 1 \) day, the amount of water remaining is 44 thousand gallons.
Step 3: Calculate the change in water amount from day 0 to day 1
The change in the amount of water from day 0 to day 1 is:
\[ 48 \text{ thousand gallons} - 44 \text{ thousand gallons} = 4 \text{ thousand gallons} \]
Final Answer
The initial amount of water is 48 thousand gallons, and the change in water amount from day 0 to day 1 is 4 thousand gallons.
