Question
Manuel got a new job and was given a hiring bonus along with his monthly salary. His earnings after x
months are modeled by the function f(x)=1,500x+300
. How much did he receive as a hiring bonus?(1 point)
$

Answer 1

To find out how much Manuel received as a hiring bonus, we can analyze the function \( f(x) = 1500x + 300 \).

In this function:

• The term \( 1500x \) represents his monthly salary, where \( 1500 \) is the amount he earns per month.
• The constant term \( 300 \) represents the hiring bonus he received when he started the job.

Thus, the hiring bonus is \( \text{$}300 \).

So, Manuel received $300 as a hiring bonus.
