Anne has a total of 3,500 golf balls at home. She loses some golf balls when she goes out on the driving range daily. The number of golf balls, h(x), can be represented by the function h(x) = –150x + 3,500, where x is the number of days she plays golf. Suppose 3,500 changed to 4,000. What does this mean in the context of the problem?

OpenStudy (kaitlyn_nicole):

Changing 3,500 to 4,000 means the initial number of golf balls decreased. Changing 3,500 to 4,000 means the initial number of golf balls increased. Changing 3,500 to 4,000 means the daily number of golf balls lost decreased. Changing 3,500 to 4,000 means the daily number of golf balls lost increased.
