Suppose you start with a full tank of gas (16 gallons) in your truck. after driving 6 hours, you now have 6 gallons left.

if x is the number of hours you have been driving, then y is the number of gallons left in the tank.

at what rate is your truck using gas? state your answer as a reduced fraction.

gallons per hour

find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the amount of gas in your tank.

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
