The initial value is the value of g when x=0.
So, when x=0:
g = 50(0) + 1,000
g = 1,000
Therefore, the initial value is 1,000 gallons.
The number of gallons g in a swimming pool being filled with water is g=50x+1,000 , where x is the number of hours since sunrise. It has been 10 hours since sunrise. What is the initial value?
