Answer:
- a) P(x) = 32000*1.04^x
- b) $37435
- c) During year 7
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
- Initial pay = $32000
- Increase rate = 4%
a. <u>Formula</u>
b. Year 5 is after 4 years, so we are looking for the value of P(4)
- P(4) = $32000*1.04^4 = $37435
c. <u>P(x) = 40000, x = ?</u>
- 40000 = 32000*1.04^x
- 1.04^x = 40000/32000
- 1.04^x = 1.25
- log 1.04^x = log 1.25
- x = log 1.25 / log 1.04
- x = 5.69, this is 6 years after
The required number of the years is 6 + 1 = 7
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
Answer:
The answer is 35
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do 15 divided by 3/7 you herb 35 you can check it by doing 3/7 of 35 and you get 15
