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 does he owes at the beginning of January?

Answer 1

To find out how much Victor owes at the beginning of January, we need to find f(0) since x represents the number of months after January and 0 represents the start of January itself.

f(0) = -35(0) + 2,500 = 0 + 2,500 = <<-35*0+2500=2500>>2,500

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