You want to set up an aquarium and need to determine what size tank to buy. the graph shows tank sizes using a rule that relates the capacity of the tank to the combined lengths of the fish it can hold.
if you want four 2-inch platys, three 1-inch guppies, and a 3-inch loach, what is the smallest capacity tank you can buy?
17-gallon tank
13-gallon tank
15-gallon tank
14-gallon tank

The minimum volume of the tank required for combined lengths of the fish is $\boxed{15\,{\text{gallons}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

The graph between the capacity of the tank and the combined length of the fishes present in the tank starts from the point $\left( {0,1} \right)$ and further it passes through the point $\left( {3,4} \right)$ .

The expression for the slope of the graph is as given below.

$m = \dfrac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}$

Substitute the co-ordinates of the points in equation of slope.

$\begin{aligned}m&= \frac{{4 - 1}}{{3 - 0}}\\&= \frac{3}{3}\\&= 1\\\end{aligned}$

The y-intercept of the graph is .

Write the expression for the equation of line of the graph.

y = mx + c

Substitute for and for in above expression.

$\begin{aligned}y&= \left( {1 \cdot x} \right) + 1 \hfill\\y&= x + 1 \hfill\\\end{aligned}$

The total length of all the fishes present inside the tank is.

$\begin{aligned}{L_{total}} &= \left( {4 \times 2} \right) + \left( {3 \times 1} \right) + \left( {1 \times 3} \right) \\&= 8 + 3 + 3\\&= 14\,{\text{inches}}\\\end{aligned}$

Since the length of the fishes is given on the x-axis, substitute $14\,{\text{inches}}$ for in equation of line of the graph.

$\begin{aligned}y&= 14 + 1\\&= 15\,{\text{gallons}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the minimum volume of the tank required for combined lengths of the fish is $\boxed{15\,{\text{gallons}}}$ .

Answer from: Quest

there are no contact forces mentioned on the list of choices that you've provided.

Answer from: Quest

no. bullets are macro objects. wave nature is for light waves, extremely tiny particles. if a light particle was the size of your finger, the bullet would be the size of the universe. so basically, that huge difference in size makes the wave nature of matter insignificant.
