Answer:
51. A/P = (2.2t +25)/(2.6t +29)
52. A/P for t=0 is about 0.862
A/P for t=4 is about 0.858
Step-by-step explanation:
51. The ratio of the two given functions is ...
r(t) = A/P
r(t) = (2.2t +25)/(2.6t +29)
__
52. Fill in the required numbers and do the arithmetic.
r(0) = (0 +25)/(0 +29) = 25/29
r(0) ≈ 0.862
_
r(4) = (2.2·4 +25)/(2.6·4 +29) = 33.8/39.4
r(4) ≈ 0.858
The salary ratio is approximately flat at 0.86 over the 4-year period. It is declining slightly each year.
