Salary after College. In 2010, Monster College surveyed 1250 U.S. college students expecting to graduate in the next several years. Respondents were asked the following question:
What do you think your starting salary will be at your first job after college?
The line graph shows the percentage of college students who anticipated various starting salaries. Use the graph to solve Exercises 9–
The mathematics model
describes the percentage of college students p. who anticipated a starting salary s. in thousands dollars. Use this formula to find the percentage of student who anticipated a starting salary of $40 thousand. How does this compare with your estimate in Exercises 13?

What is the phase shift for y = 2sin(2x-)? 2. What is the amplitude of y = 7cos(2x+л)? 3. What is the period of y = sin(3x-π)? Directions: For problems 4 and 5, you were to compare and contrast the two functions in each problem situation. Be sure to include a discussion of similarities and differences for the periods, amplitudes, y-minimums, y-maximums, and any phase shift between the two graphs.
