Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Salary offered to Emily after college = $35000
Rise in her salary = $2000 every year
Let she works for x years in the company,
Salary rise in her salary = $2000x
Total salary after x years = $(35000 + 2000x)
The independent variable x represents NUMBER OF YEARS and dependent variable is the TOTAL SALARY,because the SALARY depends on the NUMBER OF YEARS WORKED.
A function these variables is C(x) = 35000 + 2000x
So, C(4) = 35000 + 2000(4) = 43000, meaning 4 years later Emily will earn a salary $43000.
