Data from an independent research company found that the annual cost per worker for insurance (health, life, liability, etc.) was increasing according to the function f (x )equals 67.81 e Superscript 0.44 x Baseline comma where f (x )is the cost in dollars per year at time x, and x is the number of years measured from the beginning of the year 1997. That is, x equals 0 corresponds to the start of 1997. Find the total increase in costs during the next 5 years, beginning in 1997.

The cost per worker goes in five years from $67.81 at 1997, to $394.14 in 2001. It is an increase of $326.33 (481%).

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual cost per worker is modeled by the function:

where x = years from 1997.

We have to calculate the cost per worker from 1997 to 2001, according to the function f(x).

We have:

The cost per worker goes in five years from $67.81 at 1997, to $394.14 in 2001. It is an increase of $326.33 (481%).

step-by-step explanation

e2020 got it right

  y= -3x is the required function.

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a table:

x             y

0             0

1             -3

3             -9

-2             6

we can see that the values of y is -3 times the value of x

hence, the function would be: y= -3x.

put the values of x will give the same y as in the table that means function is satisfying the given table.
