A student is comparing two jobs. Job 1
Job 1 pays an annual base salary of $34,000 with a 3% increase in salary per year.

Job2
y=35,00(1.02)^x
x: time in years
y: total annual salary

Which statement is true?

Both annual salary and the percent yearly raise are higher at Job 1 than 2.

Both the annual base salary and the percent yearly raise are higher at Job 2 than 1.

While the annual base salary of Job 1 is higher than 2, the percent yearly raise is higher and Job 2 than 1.

While the annual base salary at Job 2 is higher than 1, the percent yearly raise is higher at Job 1 than 2.

While the annual base salary at Job 2 is higher than 1, the percent yearly raise is higher at Job 1 than 2.

This seems the most correct to me; your answer is D.

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
