Question

The total amount of water on a piece of land is (48x^2 + 576).If all the water is lost in 2 days through transpiration what is the rate of transpiration on an hourly basis?

Answer 1

x² + 12

Explanation:

note 2 days = 48 hours

divide amount of water by 48 for hourly rate, that is

`(48x^2+576)/(48)`

=
`(48x^2)/(48)` +
`(576)/(48)` = x² + 12
