How would the original function and its graph change if the initial volume were 60 gallons? Call the new function U(t). d. How would the original function and graph change if the drain rate were 12 gallons per minute? Call the new function V(t). e. Add the graphs of U(t) and V(t) to the original graph of W(t)
