a tank leaking water at a constant rate will leak more in 40 minutes tha in 30 minutes. which inequality shows this in function notation?
Let "x" represent the amount of water leaked in 30 minutes.
Since the tank is leaking at a constant rate, we can assume that the amount of water leaked in 40 minutes is the same rate as in 30 minutes plus an additional amount.
Therefore, the amount leaked in 40 minutes would be "x" plus an additional amount, and we can represent it as "x + a", where "a" represents the additional amount leaked in 40 minutes.
To express this in inequality, we can say that "x + a" is greater than "x".
In function notation, we can represent this inequality as:
f(30) < f(40), where f(t) represents the amount of water leaked in t minutes.
Thus, the inequality in function notation would be f(30) < f(40).
