Question

Rosa is considering job offers from two companies. Company A offered her a starting salary of $47,000 with a $2100 raise at the end of each year. Company B offered her a starting salary of $47,000 with a 4.4% raise at the end of each year.Let f(t)represent Rosa's salary at Company A t years after accepting a position at Company A, and let g(t)represent Rosa's salary at Company B t years after accepting a position at Company B. Complete the table of values below.t f(t) g(t)0 47000 47000

Answer 1

f(t)=47000 + 2100*t

g(t)=47000*1.04^t

For t=0

f(t)=47000

g(0)=47000 and g(t+1)=g(t)*1.044

t=1 (after 1 year)

f(t)=47000+2100=49100

g(t)=47000*1.044=49068

t=2 (after 2 years)

f(t)=47000+2100*2=51200

g(t)=49068*1.044=51227

t=3 (after 3 years)

f(t)=47000+2100*3=53300

g(t)=51222*1.044=53481
