Multiplicity is hoa many times it repeats
example
if you have roots, r1 multiplicity 2 and r2 multiliicty 3 the factors are
f(x)=(x-r1)^2(x-r2)^3


so

multiplicty 2 at x=4
multilicty 1 at x=-2
(x-4)^2(x-(-2))^1=
(x-4)^2(x+2))
expand
x^3-6x^2+32
remember
for roots, r1 and r2
(x-r1)(x-r2)
the roots don't change if you multiply whold thing by a unless a=0

so
the yint is where x=0
so the yint now is 32
32 times what=-9.6?
divide both sides by 32
what=-0.3

the polynomial is
p(x)=-0.3(x-4)²(x+2)
expanded is
p(x)=-0.3x³+1.8x²-9.6

A student is saving money to buy a microscope. The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month. Write a function
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month.

Let x represent the number of months that the student will save enough money to buy the microscope.

Let y represent the amount that the student saves after x months.

The function that represents the amount y (in dollars) of money that the student saves after x months will be

y = 50 + 15x

The 50 remains constant because she has already saved it
