The correct response is:
The pool contains 18,500 gallons of water before it is drained.
This represents the initial value of the linear function, indicating the amount of water in the pool at time \( t = 0 \).
This table shows the amount of water left in a pool over time as it is being drained. The table represents a linear function.
Time (h) Water (gal)
0 18,500
1 17,000
2 15,500
3 14,000
What does the initial value mean for this function?
