At its highest setting jeds shower head releases 6.2 gallons of water per minute. jed took a shower lasting 5 minutes 12 seconds. what is the maximum amount of water jed could have used?

31.744 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the amount of water he used in 12 seconds.

6.2*.12=.744 gallons

Find the amount of water he used in 5 minutes

6.2*5=31 gallons

Add your two solutions

31+.744=31.744 gallons

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
