Victor will start paying off his credit card in January. He uses the function f (x) = -35x + 2500 to model the amount of money. He owes X months after January. How much money does he owe at the beginning of January?
To find the amount of money Victor owes at the beginning of January, we need to calculate the value of f(x) when x = 0 (since the function models the amount owed x months after January).
Plugging in x = 0 into the function f(x) = -35x + 2500, we get:
f(0) = -35(0) + 2500
= 0 + 2500
= 2500
Therefore, Victor owes $2500 at the beginning of January.
