The initial value is 1,000 gallons (the amount of water in the tank when the pumping begins) and the rate of change is 15 gallons per minute (the rate at which water is being added to the tank).
Therefore, b= 1,000 and m= 15.
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.
The initial value is b=__ and the rate of change is m=__
