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

3 answers

In the function \( f(x) = 1,500x + 300 \), the term \( 1,500x \) represents Manuel's monthly salary for \( x \) months, where he earns \( 1,500 \) dollars each month.

The constant term \( 300 \) represents the hiring bonus he received when he started the job.

Therefore, the hiring bonus that Manuel received is $300.

Yes, I am sure. In the equation \( f(x) = 1,500x + 300 \):

  • \( 1,500x \): This part represents Manuel's total earnings from his monthly salary over \( x \) months, where he earns $1,500 each month.
  • \( 300 \): This constant term represents the hiring bonus he received when he was hired.

So, Manuel received a hiring bonus of $300. If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask!
