The fundamental theorem of algebra states that a polynomial of degree has exactly n roots (including complex and multiple).
The degree of a polynomial is the highest (non-negative) exponent of the polynomial, in this case is 17 from the term 15x^17.
a) Sammie earns
£320×4% = £12.80
each year.
Joel earns
£420×3% = £12.60
each year.
Sammie earns the most interest.
b) Joel's interest after 5 years is
£12.60×5 = £63
so the total amount of money Joel will have is
£420 +63 = £483

Answer:
• multiplied by 4p: (x -h)² +4pk = 0
• zeros for k > 0: none
• zeros for k = 0: one
• zeros for k < 0: two
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Multiplying by 4p removes the 1/(4p) factor from the squared term, but adds a factor of 4p to the k term. (It has no effect on the subsequent questions or answers, so we wonder why we're doing this.) The result is ...
(x -h)² +4pk = 0
__
b) The value of k is the vertical location of the vertex of the parabola with respect to the x-axis. The parabola opens upward, so for k > 0, the parabola does not cross the x-axis, and the number of real zeros is zero. (There are two complex zeros.)
__
c) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is zero, the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis, so there is one real zero (It is considered to have multiplicity 2.)
__
d) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is negative, the vertex of the parabola is below the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, both branches will cross the x-axis, resulting in two real zeros.

The attached graph shows a parabola with p=1/4 and h=2. The values shown for k are +1, 0, and -1. The coordinates of the real zeros are shown.
