The equation y = 15.7x + 459 can be used to predict the cost of renting a studio apartment in a certain housing complex, where x is the number of years since 2005. What if the best prediction for the cost of renting a studio apartment in this complex in 2005?
A)$314.00
B)$392.50
C)$773.00
D)$851.50

Respuesta :

The option A and B would be wrong since it was less than the minimum value of the function. To find the cost, you just need to replace the x variable with time after 2005.
If the time is 2025 it will be
x= 2025-2005= 20

y = 15.7x + 459
y = 15.7(20) + 459
y = 314+ 459 = $773.00

If the time is 2030 it will be
x= 2030-2005= 25

y = 15.7x + 459
y = 15.7(25) + 459
y = 392.5+ 459 =$851.50
