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 what is the initial value

Answer 1

When it has been 10 hours since sunrise, we can substitute x=10 into the equation g=50x+1000:

g = 50(10) + 1000
g = 500 + 1000
g = 1500

Therefore, when it has been 10 hours since sunrise, the number of gallons in the swimming pool is 1500.

The initial value of the equation is the constant term before the coefficient of x, which is 1000.

So, the initial value is 1000.
