The initial value represents the starting point or the value at the beginning. In this case, the initial value would be 1,000 gallons since initially the tank is half full with 1,000 gallons of water.
The rate of change represents how the value is changing over time. In this case, the rate of change is 15 gallons per minute since water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 15 gallons per minute.
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.(1 point) The initial value is b=, and the rate of change is m=.
