dhe te the Sun S en 2013 Sol Gruen That, an 2008, the average annual cost rual cost for health Courge 1. was $3000 . In 2 013, the average value was $5000 let ai be the number of years ofter 2000 ad y be the Qurage employees cat, - i of 4=8len 4. = 3000 =) A (9,4) = (8,3000) 12 = 13, Ylen Yn = 5000 > B (924) =(13,5000) 6 The linear quation exprening the average annual cost s 4-4 = (2-0) .y-3000 = 5000 --3000 (8) = a (n=8) = 4001 - 3200 y = 4009–3200+3000 y = 4007-200 1. The linear question in y=[40da +((-200) © The average annuval cost en 2014 (re.x=14) y = 4001140 - 200 =5600–200 = 5400 The average annuel cost in 2014 u 185400 but full year in which cost excets &6000 now to fud for this .. fast full year in which to 65006 4008-20 OD . .. The 4001 = 6500+200 fut sa 4000 = 6.700 =) a= 6 7 * 16.75 ~ 17. art. full year in which the cost enceeds $6.500 is 2017
