The 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? after 3 hours, 14,000 gallons of water remain in the pool. after 2 hours, 15,500 gallons of water have been drained from the pool. the pool contains 18,500 gallons of water before it is drained. water drains from the pool at a rate of 1500 gallons each hour.

C. The pool contains 18,500 gallons of water before it is drained.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the amount of water left in a pool, in gallons, over time, in hours, as it is being drained.

Time (h)Water (gal)

   0            18,500

   1             17,000

   2            15,500

   3            14,000

This table represents a linear function.

The initial value of the table is,

As here, time is 0 hours i.e at starting of the experiment, the water in the tank was 18,500 gallons.

Therefore, the initial value represents the amount of water before it is drained.

step-by-step explanation:

we can use this expression to calculate the energy gain as a particle moves with a field or the energy loss as it moves against it. (note that it is also used to define the electron-volt, a unit of energy equal to that gained by an electron as it falls through a pd of 1 v, i.e. w = 1 ev = 1.6 10-19 c 1 v = 1.6 10-19j).in fact this expression is really nothing more than the statement that potential is the potential energy per unit charge. in this case, v= w/qis simply stating that the change in potential energy(or work done) per unit charge is equal to the change in potential (or potential difference), v.student questions: uniform electric fields2electron beamcathode+5 kvanode0 v
