4 A job applicant is offered job employment in Bank A and Bank B. Both banks are willing to pay him
the same annual salary of $x for his first year of service. The remuneration package for subsequent
years from the two banks are as follows:
Bank A: An annual salary increment of 15% of his first years annual salary.
Bank B: An annual increment of 10 %.

It is known that C has a turning point. Find the coordinates of this point in terms of a and hence
sketch the curve C, indicating the coordinates of any axial intercept(s), turning point(s) and equations
of any asymptotes. [5]
