For the following exercises, explain the notation in words. The volume f(t) of a tank of gasoline, in gallons, t minutes after noon.
f′(30) = −20
Let the volume of a tank of gasoline (in gallons) at time t minutes after noon is f(t).
Consider the following:
f\'(30) = -20
This implies that the rate of change of volume of a tank of gasoline at t = 30, that is at 12:30p.m is equal to -20.
This means that the tank is losing 20 gallons of gasoline every minute at 12:30p.m.
This means that the tank is losing 20 gallons of gasoline every minute at 12:30p.m.
