Answer: The value of 15 represents that Jerome adds $15 every week to his savings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function: $f(w)=15w+230$ which represents the amount of money Jerome saves after w weeks.

Here 15 is the rate of increment in the saving per week as it is the slope of the function.

Put w=0, when Jerome started saving

$f(0)=15(0)+230=0+230=230$

Thus, 230 is the initial amount of saving.

Put w=1, for first week

The amount of money he saved= $f(1)=15(1)+230=15+230=245$

Increase in saving=245-230=15

Put w=2, for second week

The amount of money he saved= $f(2)=15(2)+230=30+230=260$

Increase in saving=260-245=15

⇒ Jerome is added 15 rupees per week.

15 represents the slope of the function. In other words it means that for every week Jerome earns 15 dollars more. Hope this helps :)

Write a polynomial function with rational coefficients so that P(x) = 0 has the given roots. 4, 16, and 1 + 9i

bulgar [2K]

I remember dis, yey

so if a polynomial has roots $r_1$ , $r_2$ , $r_3$ , it can be factored into
$f(x)=a(x-r_1)^b(x-r_2)^c(x-r_3)^d$ where a,b,c,d are constants

also, if a polynomial has rational coefients and a+bi is a root, then a-bi must also be a root

so our roots we need are
4,16, 1+9i and 1-9i

so assuming multiplity 1 (that means we have something like [/tex]f(x)=a(x-r_1)^1(x-r_2)^1(x-r_3)^1[/tex])

we get that your function is
$P(x)=(x-4)(x-16)(x-(1+9i))(x-(1-9i))$ which simplifies to
$P(x)=(x-4)(x-16)(x-1-9i)(x-1+9i)$ which expands to
$P(x)=x^4-22x^3+186x^2-1768x+5248$
