Answer:

the rate of change of James’ salary is $845 dollars per year

y = 845x + 66640

the value of James’ salary in 23 years=$86,075

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the years worked and y = Salary in dollars

When x=0 then y = 66640

when x= 8 then y = 73400

Two points are (0,66640)  and (8,73400)

Rate of change of salary is the slope

To find slope we use formula

slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{73400-66640}{8-0} =845

the rate of change of James’ salary is $845 dollars per year

Slope intercept form of equation is y=mx+b

m = 845 , b is the y intercept (initial salary)

so y = 845x + 66640

Now we find out salary in 23 years

plug in 23 for x in the y equation

y = 845x + 66640

y = 845(23) + 66640=86075

the value of James’ salary in 23 years=$86,075

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 4

The given expression is:

9^8 ÷ 9n

USE PEMDAS order of operations and solve:

9^8 ÷ 9n

= 43046721 ÷ 9n

Substitue n with 4 and solve:

43046721 ÷ 9(4)

= 43046721 ÷ 36

= 1,195,742.25
