Sammy has two job offers. Both jobs start at $17,000 per year. If he takes job A, he will get a $300 raise at the end of each year. If he takes job B, his salary (S) will be determined by a function based on how many years (t) he has worked for the company.
Function for job B:
S(t) = 3.7t^2 + 335t + 17,000
Sammy calculates that after 4 years of work, one job will provide a higher annual salary than the other. How much more will that job pay?

this is too easy. Since both jobs start at 17,000, and 335 > 300,
B > A for all t
at t=4,
B-A = 199.20
B > A for all t
at t=4,
B-A = 199.20
