Answer:
890.908
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Median weekly salary for males :
M(x) = 0.009x3 - 0.29x2 + 30.7x + 439.6
x = number of years after 1980
Median weekly salary for all employees :
T(x) = 0.012x3 - 0.46x2 + 56.1x + 732.3
Estimate the median weekly earnings of a full-time female employee with at least a Bachelor's degree in 2006
Estimated median weekly earning for a full time female employee with at least bachelor's degree ; F(x)
F(x) = T(x) - M(x)
F(x) = (0.012x3 - 0.46x2 + 56.1x + 732.3) - (0.009x3 - 0.29x2 + 30.7x + 439.6)
F(x) = (0.012 - 0.009)x3 + (-0.46 + 0.29)x2 + (56.1 - 30.7)x + (732.3 - 439.6)
F(x) = 0.003x³ - 0.17x² + 25.4 + 292.7
x = 2006 - 1980 = 26
F(26) = 0.003x³ - 0.17x² + 25.4x + 292.7
0.003(26)^3 - 0.17(26)^2 + 25.4(26) + 292.7 = 890.908
=
