The number of gallons g in a swimming pool being filled with water is g=50x+1000, where x is the number of hours since sunrise. It has been 10 hours since sunrise. It has been 10 hours since sunrise. What is the initial value?
To find the initial value, we need to substitute x=0 into the equation.
g=50x+1000
g=50(0)+1000
g=0+1000
g=1000
Therefore, the initial value is 1000 gallons.
