    Mr. Dawson plans to finance the loan of his choice for 30 years.

    In order to find the least affordable loan option for Mr. Dawson, we will have to substitute x = 30 in each of the given equations and the best option would have the lowest answer.

    Option A:

    f (x) = 8000 (1 + 0.15/12) ¹²ˣ

    Susbstituting x = 30.

    f (30) = 8000 (1 + 0.15/12) ³⁶⁰

    f (30) = 8000 (1 + 0.15/12) ³⁶⁰

    f (30) = 8000 * 87.54

    f (30) = 700,327.96

    Option B:

    g (x) = 700 x + 8000

    Susbstituting x = 30.

    g (x) = 700 (30) + 8000

    g (x) = 21000 + 8000

    g (x) = 29,000

    Option C:

    h (x) = x² + 400x + 8000

    Susbstituting x = 30.

    h (x) = 30² + 400 (30) + 8000

    h (x) = 900 + 12000 + 8000

    h (x) = 20,900

    The least affordable loan option for Mr. Dawson is option C.
