Answer:
B) If the yearly raise is 3% per hour then the relationship is exponential and the hourly rate "n" years from now will be h(n) = 10(1.03)n for n = {1,2,3, ...}.
C) If the yearly raise is $3 per hour then the relationship is linear and the hourly rate "n" years from now will be h0 = 10 and hn = (hn − 1)(3) for n = {1,2,3, ...}.
D) If the yearly raise is 3% per hour then the relationship is exponential and the hourly rate "n" years from now will be h0 = 10 and hn = (hn − 1)(1.03) for n = {1,2,3, ...}.
Step-by-step explanation:
B is wrong because the yearly raise is $3 per hour, not 3% of the employees income.
C is wrong because the it eliminates the raise for year 1 (or the worker's second year). the worker's pay = $10 + [(1 - 1) x $3] = $10 + $0
D is wrong for the same reason as B.
Only option A was correct, the yearly salary is a linear function = 10 + 3n; at the end of the first year he will get a raise = $10 + $3 = $13, then next year the worker's salary = $16, then $19, etc.
