To find the initial value of the number of gallons in the swimming pool (g) before any time has passed (x=0), we can substitute x=0 into the equation:
g = 50(0) + 1,000
g = 0 + 1,000
g = 1,000
Therefore, the initial value of the number of gallons in the swimming pool is 1,000 gallons.
vhe 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?
