QuestionFind the year when annual pay exceeds \$49,000 using the equation$49=0.427 x^{2}-7.86 x+75.1$.

Studdy Solution
Since $x$ represents full years and we are looking for the first full year when $$ is above49, we take the ceiling of the smaller value of $x$ (which is4.). The ceiling of a number is the smallest integer greater than or equal to that number.
$$x = \lceil4.\rceil =5$$So, the first full year when annual pay recovered to be above $49$ thousand is5 years after the year represented by $x =0$.
