Daniel was offered a job after college earning a salary of $60,000. He will get a raise of $4,000 after each year working for the company. Answer the questions below regarding the relationship between salary and the number of years working at the company. The independent variable, x, represents the number of years worked, and the dependent variable is the salary, because the salary depends on the number of years worked. A function relating these variables is M(x) =M(x)=
.
So M(5) = M(5)= , meaning 5 years after being hired, his salary will be dollars per year.
