Question

Answer #15 please!! Explain thoroughly ways to quickly get an ordered pair to represent the function. Please!

Answer 1

To find an ordered pair, remember that ordered pairs are displayed in the form (x,y). Then, substitute an arbitrary value for x or y and solve for the remaining variable.

Since x represents the amount of days, use for instance x=1 and solve for y:

`\begin{gathered} x=1 \\ \Rightarrow y+0.18(1)=60 \\ \Rightarrow y+0.18=60 \\ \Rightarrow y=60-0.18 \\ \Rightarrow y=59.82 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the ordered pair (1,59.82) is a solution to the equation. Since y represents the amount of water in m^3, then, the real-world meaning is that there are 59.82 m^3 of water in the pool in day 1.
