Determine the initial value and the rate of change in the following description. A 2,000-gallon tank is half full with 1,000 gallons of water. Water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 15 gallons per minute.(1 point)%0D%0AThe initial value is b=%0D%0A%0D%0A=%0D%0A, and the rate of change is m=%0D%0A%0D%0A=%0D%0A.
The initial value is the starting value, which in this case is the amount of water in the tank when it is half full, or 1,000 gallons. So, the initial value (b) is 1,000.
The rate of change is the rate at which the water level is increasing, given as 15 gallons per minute. So, the rate of change (m) is 15.
