Manuel got a new job and was given a hiring bonus along with his monthly salary. His earnings after x months are modeled by the function f(x)=1,500x+300 . How much did he receive as a hiring bonus?(1 point)

The function \( f(x) = 1,500x + 300 \) represents Manuel's total earnings after \( x \) months, where:

- \( 1,500x \) is the amount he earns from his monthly salary for \( x \) months,
- \( 300 \) represents the hiring bonus he received.

To find out how much he received as a hiring bonus, we can look at the constant term in the function.

Thus, the hiring bonus Manuel received is **$300**.
