The function f(x) = -75x + 1, 200 represents the value of your cell

Question

phone x months after you purchase it. Identify and interpret the initial value of the function. (1 point)
The initial value of 75 represents the value of your cell phone at the time you
• purchase it.
• The initial value of 75 represents the monthly cost of your phone.
• The initial value of 1,200 represents the monthly cost of your phone.
The initial value of 1,200 represents the value of your cell phone at the time
• you purchase it.

Answer 1

The initial value of the function \( f(x) = -75x + 1,200 \) is the constant term when \( x = 0 \). In this case, when you purchase the cell phone (which is at \( x = 0 \)), the function evaluates to:

\[ f(0) = -75(0) + 1,200 = 1,200 \]

This means that the value of the cell phone at the time you purchase it is $1,200.

Therefore, the correct interpretation is:

The initial value of 1,200 represents the value of your cell phone at the time you purchase it.
