A school club is raising money for a trip, and needs to reach $10,000. Their fundraising progress is modeled by the function

f(x) = 435 + 1200x, where x is measured in weeks.

What is the meaning of the constant 435?

Respuesta :

435 is the amount of money that they have raised already

Answer:

435 is the money that the school club have had already before the fundraising started.

Step-by-step explanation:

The school club modeled their fundraising progress with a linear function.

They will have a 1200 income every week, that's why they multiply 1200 by x, being x the number of weeks.(time)

435 is a fixed number that represents the amount of money that the club had before starting the fundraising
