Explanation

The question refers to Example 10 from the textbook, which provides the linear decay function h(t) = 3 - 0.5t for the height of water in a cylindrical tank. By substituting t = 5 into this function, we calculate the height at the end of 5 months.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the given linear function: h(t) = 3 - 0.5t

  2. Step 2: Substitute t = 5 into the function: h(5) = 3 - 0.5(5)

  3. Step 3: Calculate the result: h(5) = 3 - 2.5 = 0.5

  4. Step 4: The height of the water at the end of 5 months is 0.5 m.
