Step 1
The function G ( x ) = 0.01 x 2 + x + 63 models the wage gap, as a percent, x years after 1980 in Country A.
The graph of function G is attached.
a. G ( 30 ) = ( 0.01 ) ( 30 ) 2 + 30 + 63 = 9 + 30 + 96 = 84. The point where the vertical line x = 30 meets the graph of G{x) is the required point i.e. the point (30,84). This means that, after 30 years after 1980, i.e. in 2010, there was a 84 % wage gap in Country A.
