I believe the answer is either C or D... I am not sure though..
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Cost per student in the year 1978 is $2200
The cost increases to $10,300 in 2008
Suppose
is the linear equation defining the cost per student after x years
Substitute the value for 1978

After 30 years it becomes

Thus, the linear equation becomes

Answer:
7. 7.8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use Tan of this angle to find the missing side (in this case, the side adjacent to the angle measuring 57°)
Tan A = (opposite side)/(adjacent side)
Tan 57° = 12/x
solve for x
x(Tan 57°) = 12
x = 12/(Tan 57°)
x = 7.8 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
