The number of gallons g in a swimming pool filled with water is g=50x+1000, where x is the number of hours since sunrise. It has been 10 hours since sunrise. What is the initial value?

Answer 1

To find the initial value, we need to substitute x = 0 into the equation.

So, g = 50(0) + 1000
= 0 + 1000
= 1000

Hence, the initial value is 1000 gallons.
