Question
Juaquim's starting salary at a company is $42,000 per year. On average, employees receive a 6.5% increase in salary every year. Which equation shows what his salary will be in x years?
 
 
  • A) s=(1+0.065)xs=(1+0.065)x
    A),  s is equal to open paren 1 plus 0 point 0 6 5 close paren to the x th power
  • B) s=42000(1+0.065)xs=42000(1+0.065)x
      B),  s is equal to 42000 times open paren 1 plus 0 point 0 6 5 close paren to the x th power
  • C) s=42000(0.065)xs=42000(0.065)x
      C),  s is equal to 42000 times 0 point 0 6 5 to the x th power
  • D) s=42000(1−0.065)x
