Hector would like to join a gym that has a ine time membership fee for plus a monthly fee he can use the function f(x) = 35x+50 to model the cost of gym membership after x months identify and interpret the initial value of the function.

The initial value of the function is the constant term, which is $50 in this case.

Interpreting this, it means that if Hector decides to join the gym and does not go for any months, he will still have to pay $50 as the initial fee.
