(Modeling) Adjusted Poverty Threshold The adjusted poverty threshold for a single person between the years 1995 and 2009 can be approximated by the polynomial

4.872x2 + 170.2x + 7787,

where x = 0 corresponds to 1995, x = 1 corresponds to 1996, and so on, and the amount is in dollars. According to this model, what was the adjusted poverty threshold, to the nearest dollar, in each given year? (Source: U.S. Census Bureau.)
