Victor will start paying off his credit card in January. He uses the function f(x)=−35x+2,500 to model the amount of money he owes x months after January. How much money does he owe at the beginning of January?

Answer 1

To find the amount of money Victor owes at the beginning of January, we need to evaluate the function at x = 0 (since January is 0 months after January).

So we substitute x = 0 into the function:

f(0) = -35(0) + 2,500
= 0 + 2,500
= 2,500

Therefore, Victor owes $2,500 at the beginning of January.
