Question 933700: Suppose the annual salary of a lecturer at a university is a linear function of the number of years of teaching experience. A lecturer with 9 years of experience is paid $41, 350. A lecturer with 15 years experience of teaching experience is paid $46, 687.
A). Write a linear function to describe this situation.
B). Use the function to determine the salary of a lecturer with 10 years of experience.
C). Estimate how many years of teaching experience a lecturer must have to earn a salary of $44, 908. Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source):
a linear function:
A). Write a linear function to describe this situation.
A lecturer with years of experience is paid $.
and ....eq.1
A lecturer with 15 years experience of teaching experience is paid $.
and ....eq.2
solve this system to find and ....eq.1 ....eq.2
_________________.....subtract eq.1 from eq.2
go to eq.1 substitute m and solve for ....eq.1
your equation is:
B). Use the function to determine the salary of a lecturer with years of experience.
C). Estimate how many years of teaching experience a lecturer must have to earn a salary of $.
years of teaching experience a lecturer must have to earn a salary of $
