A large koi pond is filled from a garden hose at the rate of 10 gal/min. Initially the pond contains 150 gal of water.
Find a linear function V that models the volume of water in the pond at any time t.
If the pond has a capacity of 1,250 gal, how long does it take to completely fill the pond?
V = 10t + 150
t = 11

For the equation 5x^2-2 , find f(a), f(a+h), and the difference quotient (where h does not equal 0).
DQ: \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}
f(a) = 5a^2-2
f(a+h) = 5a^2 + 10ah + 5h^2 - 2
DQ = 10a + 5h
