The per capita (per person) income from 1980 to 2010 can be modeled by

f(x) = 2000(X – 1980) + 10,000

where x is the year. Determine the year when the per capita income was $18,000.

The per capita income was $18,000 in the year N.

Answer:

X= 1984

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2000(X – 1980) + 10,000

Where,

f(x)= per capita income

x= year

Find x when f(x)= $18,000

f(x) = 2000(X – 1980) + 10,000

18,000 = 2000(X - 1980) + 10,000

18,000 = 2000X - 3,960,000 + 10,000

18,000 = 2000X - 3,950,000

Add 3,950,000 to both sides

18,000 + 3,950,000 = 2000X

3,968,000 = 2000X

Divide both sides by 2000

X= 3,968,000 / 2000

= 1984

X= 1984

Therefore, the per capita income was $18,000 in the year 1984
