The nationwide average salary of a computer programmer can be modeled by the equation y=31.8 * (1.06)^n , where y is the salary in thousands of dollars and n is the number of years since 1990.

Graph the function. Then, using this model, predict the average programmer’s salary in 2010.

y=101.9869

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be equal to x:

We calculate the value of n as the difference between the two years:

#We use to plot our function and input the x value of n=x=20 to obtain a y output.

#From our graph, y has a value of 101.9869, hence, the programmer's salry in 2010 is predicted to be 101.9869
