A swimming pool has about 603 cubic feet of water. The pool liner has a small hole and is leaking at a rate of 1.5 cubic feet ea
ch hour. Ruby wrote the equation V(h) = -1.5h + 603 to represent the scenario. Describe what each variable represents in the function, and how they relate to each other.
Ruby’s function notation V(h) describes the volume of the pool after h number of hours. Hours is the independent variable and the total volume is the dependent variable.
