The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the year 2005 was $70,000. it increased by the same factor each year and in 2006 the average annual salary was $82,000. let f(x) represent the average annual salary in thousand dollars after x years since the 2005. which of the following best represents the relationship between x and f(x)? f(x)=70(1.17)^x f(x)=82(1.17)^x f(x)=70(2.2)^x f(x)=82(2.2)^x

The correct answer to this question is f(x) = 70(1.17)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

x is time in years

f(x) represent the average annual salary in thousand dollars

We are given

The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the Year 2005 was $70,000

We can use exponential formula

Since, time starts from 2005

So, at  x=0 , f(x)=70

we can use it

in 2006 the average annual salary was $82,000

So, in x=2006-2005=1

f(x)=82

we can plug it and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

1; 35 is the ratio

step-by-step explanation:

answer is x<
