Hector would like to join a gym that has a one-time membership fee plus a monthly fee. He can use the
function f(x) = 35x + 50 to model the cost of gym membership after r months. Identify and interpret
the initial value of the function. (1 point)
O The initial value of 35 represents the one-time membership fee
O The initial value of 50 represents the monthly fee.
• The initial value of 50 represents the one-time membership fee.
• The initial value of 35 represents the monthly fee.
The correct answer is:
• The initial value of 50 represents the one-time membership fee.
This means that when Hector first joins the gym (r=0 months), he will have to pay a one-time membership fee of $50.
