Answer:
1000 represents the amount of trash that was originally present in the landfill before dumping any extra trash.
i.e. it is the amount of trash at day zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial valye of a function is defined as the started value of the function independent of any variables present in the function.
the guven function is:
n= 2000x+1000
where n is the amount of trash and x is the number of days.
To get the inital value, let x be zero
n= 2000(0)+1000
this means that the initial value of trash at day zero is 1000
