The complete question is;

The height of water in a bathtub,h, is a function of time,t. Let P represent this function. Height is measured in inches and time in minutes.

Match each statement in function notation with a description.

A: P(0) = 0

B: P(4) = 10

C: P(10) = 4

D: P(20) = 0

1:After 20 minutes, the bathtub is empty.

2:The bathtub starts out with no water.

3:After 10 minutes, the height of the water is 4 inches.

4:The height of the water is 10 inches after 4 minutes.

Answer:

-option D is the correct answer for sentence 1.

-option A is the correct answer for sentence 2.

-option C is the correct answer for sentence 3.

-option B is the correct answer for sentence 4

Explanation:

The height of water in a bathtub h is a function of time t.

-If t = 20 minutes, then height of water represented by P is empty so, P(20) = 0. Thus, option D is the correct option for sentence 1.

-The bath tub starts out with no water. Thus, P(0) = 0. So option A is the correct option for sentence 2.

-After 10 minutes, the height of the water is 4 inches. Thus, P(10) = 4. So, option C is the correct option for sentence 3.

- The height of the water is 10 inches after 4 minutes. Thus, P(4) = 10. So option B is the correct answer for sentence 4
