14. A single pump is filling a storage container with water at a rate of 60 gallons per minute. After 30 minutes, an additional pump turns on and the container begins to fill at a total rate of 130 gallons per minute for an additional 30 minutes. The container already had 1,500 gallons of water when it began to be filled. (a) On the grid below, graph the amount of water the tank contains for the first 60 minutes. (b) Write a piecewise defined function for the volume, V, as a function of time, t, measured in minutes.
