In the function \( f(x) = 435 + 1200x \), where \( f(x) \) represents the total amount of money raised and \( x \) represents the number of weeks, the constant \( 435 \) represents the amount of money that the school club has already raised before the fundraising campaign began. This is often referred to as the initial amount or starting fund. It contributes to the total amount raised as time progresses.

f(x) = 435 + 1200x, where x is measured in weeks.
