EXPLANATION
The given polynomial is

where a=1,b=k, c=30
Let the zeroes of this polynomial be m and n.
Then the sum of roots is

and the product of roots is

The square difference of the zeroes is given by the expression.

From the question, this difference is 169.
This implies that:





We substitute the values of k into the equation and solve for x.


The zeroes are given by;


Answer:
x=143/40
or
x=3.575
Step-by-step explanation:
1- The interest rate is 7.5/year so 7.5/.75 year(9 months) at 500$ which would produce a profit of 28.13$ so a total of 528.13
2-7.5/year for 1.5 years(18 months) at 500$ so total interest is 56.25$ so the total is 566.25$
When x=0, y=4...
Therefore:
4=a*b⁰
b⁰=1, so a=4.
----------
When x=1, y=2...
Therefore:
2=4*b¹
4b=2
b=2/4
So... b=1/2.
This means that:
y=4*((1/2)^x)
