Given the function, C(x) = 0.50x + 3,
where:
C = total cost of playing at Gustavo's Game Center
x = represents the number of games played
$3 = entrance fee to the Game Center
To find out the value of C(0), plug in the value of x = 0 into the function:
C(0) = 0.50x + 3
C(0) = 0.50(0) + 3
C(0) = 3
Therefore, the value of C(0) = 3. This means that at 0 number of games played at Gustavo's Game Center, the inital fee is $3. This $3 represents the y-intercept.
