Question

The amount of money the athletic booster club raised for the year is modeled by the function f(x) = 250x + 750. How much money did the booster club have at the start?

Answer 1

To find the money he began with, we need to give x the value of zero. It will mean that in the time, 0th year (stands for starting time), the club had

f(0) = 250x0 + 750
f(0) = 750 at the start.

Answer 2

Answer: $750

Explanation:

The general intercept form of a linear equation is given by :-

`y=mx+c`, where m is the rate of change of y over x and c is the initial value.

Given : The amount of money the athletic booster club raised for the year is modeled by the function
`f(x) = 250x + 750`.

By comparing this function to the general intercept form of a linear equation , we get

c=750

i.e. The booster club have $750 at the start.
