Question : A tap is dripping at a constant rate into a container. The level L cm of the water in the container is given by the equation L = $2-2^t$, where t is the time taken in hours. What is the level of water in the container at the start?
Option 1: 0 cm
Option 2: 1 cm
Option 3: 2 cm
Option 4: 4 cm
Correct Answer: 1 cm
Solution :
Given:
A tap is dripping at a constant rate into a container.
The level L cm of the water in the container is given by the equation, L = $2-2^t$
At the beginning, time will be zero, i.e., t = 0
L = $2-2^t$
= $2-2^0$
= 2 – 1
= 1 cm
The level of water in the container at the start is 1 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 1 cm.
