- A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardUse the differential to approximate each quantity. Then use a calculator to approximate the quantity, and give the absolute value of the difference the two results to 4decimal places. e0.002arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATION Water Level A trough has a triangular cross section. The trough is 6 ft across the top, 6 ft deep, and 16 ft long. Water is being pumped into the trough at the rate of 4 ft; per minute. Find the rate at which the height of the water is increasing at the instant that the height is 4 ft.arrow_forward
