Victor will start paying off his credit card in january. he uses the function f (x) = -35 + 2500 to model the amount of money he owes x months after january. how much money does he owe at the beginning of january?

1 answer

To find out how much money Victor owes at the beginning of January, we need to evaluate the function \( f(x) \) at \( x = 0 \) (since \( x \) represents the number of months after January).

The function is given as: \[ f(x) = -35 + 2500 \]

Now, substituting \( x = 0 \) into the function: \[ f(0) = -35 + 2500 \] \[ f(0) = 2465 \]

Therefore, Victor owes $2465 at the beginning of January.
