Manuel got a new job and was given a hiring bonus along with his monthly salary. His earnings after x months are modeled by the function f(x)=1,500x+300 . How much did he receive as a hiring bonus?(1 point)
Manuel's earnings after x months is given by the function f(x)=1,500x+300.
Since the hiring bonus is given only once when he starts the job, it is the initial value of the function when x=0.
Therefore, the hiring bonus Manuel received is f(0) = 1,500(0) + 300 = $300.
So, Manuel received $300 as a hiring bonus.
