Step 1
We are given an equation $$y = 75.33x + 4005$$ that approximates the average annual cost of tuition and fees. We need to predict the cost in 2014. The variable 'x' represents the number of years since 2003 (where year 0 is 2003). Show more…

From 2012 through 2020, the average annual cost of in-state tuition and fees at a public 2-year college can be approximated by the linear function f(x) = 24x + 2632, where x is the number of years after 2012 and f(x) is the average cost. Use the given function to complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Use this function to approximate the average annual cost of tuition and fees at a public 2-year college in 2020. [Hint: Find f(8).] The yearly cost in 2020 is expected to be $ b. Predict in what year the average yearly cost of tuition and required fees will be $4000, if this trend continues. [Hint: Let f(x) = 4000, and solve for x.] The average yearly cost of tuition and required fees will be $4000 in c. Approximate the average average yearly cost of attending a two-year college in 2024, if this trend continues The average yearly cost in 2024 is $

The average cost, in dollars, for tuition and fees for in-state students at four-year public colleges over the period $2000-2014$ can be modeled by the equation $$y=4.065 x^{2}+370.1 x+3450$$ where $x=0$ corresponds to 2000 $x=1$ corresponds to $2001,$ and so on. Based on this model, for what year after 2000 was the average cost 8605 dollar (Source: The College Board, Annual Survey of Colleges.) (IMAGE CAN NOT COPY)
