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

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
