Answer:

C(x)=35x+50

Electrician's fee: $50.

Charges per hour: $35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of hours and y represent amount charged.

We have been given that an electrician charges $120 after 2 hours of work and $190 after 4 hours of work.

We can represent this information with two points as (2,120) and (4,190).

First of all, we will find slope using these points.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{190-120}{4-2}  

m=\frac{70}{2}  

m=35  

Now, we will slope-intercept form of equation y=mx+b to get our required equation as:

y=35x+b

Substitute coordinates of point (2,120) to find the y-intercept.

120=35(2)+b

120=70+b

120-70=70-70+b

50=b

Therefore, our required function would be C(x)=35x+50.

The electrician's fee would be $50 as it the initial amount or y-intercept.

The electrician charges $35 per hour as the slope of the line is 35.

We invested $10000 into two bank accounts. One account earns 14% per year, the other account earns 8% per year. How much did we
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$7,300 was invested in the 14% account while $2,700 was invested in the 8% interest account

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested in first account be $x while the amount for second account is $y

Mathematically;

x + y = 10,000 •••••••••(i)

Interest on first account

= 14% of x = 14/100 * x

Interest on second account

= 8% of y= 8/100 * y

Adding all together will give total

14/100 * x + 8/100 * y = 1238

Multiply through by 100

14x + 8y = 123800 •••••••(ii)

From equation 1, x = 10,000 - y

Insert this into second equation

14(10,000-y) + 8y = 123,800

140,000 - 14y + 8y = 123,800

140,000 - 6y = 123,800

6y = 140,000 - 123,800

6y = 16,200

y = 16,200/6

y = $2,700

Recall

x + y = 10,000

x = 10000 - y

x = 10,000 - 2,700

x = $7,300

Polynomial with real coefficients always has even number of complex roots. We know that one of them is 2 + 5i so the second one will be  2 - 5i and:

f(x)=\big(x-4\big)\big(x-(-8)\big)\big(x-(2+5i)\big)\big(x-(2-5i)\big)=\\\\=(x-4)(x+8)(x-2-5i)(x-2+5i)=\\\\=(x^2-4x+8x-32)(x^2-2x+5ix-2x+4-10i-5ix+10i-25i^2)\\\\=\big(x^2+4x-32\big)\big(x^2-4x+4-25\cdot(-1)\big)=\\\\=(x^2+4x-32)(x^2-4x+29)=\\\\=x^4-4x^3+29x^2+4x^3-16x^2+116x-32x^2+128x-928=\\\\=\boxed{x^4-19x^2+244x-928}
