Answer:
B. (Graph Z)
Step-by-step explanation:
A nonlinear rate is always expressed as a curve on a graph.
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
325.6 is your answer :
If the number that comes before it is smaller than 5, you keep the number the same. If it’s larger than 5, then you boost it up one. For example, if it was 325.683, you’d round that to 325.7.
Hope that helps!
