The initial value refers to the number of gallons in the pool at the start, which is when x=0 (since x is the number of hours since sunrise).
Therefore, to find the initial value, we substitute x=0 into the equation g=50x+1,000:
g = 50(0) + 1,000
g = 0 + 1,000
g = 1,000 gallons
So, 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?(1 point)
gallons
