D is answer

Answer:

Option D is correct

the yearly profit in year 6 is, $26,700

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

The yearly profits of a new small business, in hundreds of dollars, during its first 10 years can be modeled as:

@@MATH_TOKEN_0@@              ....[1]

where, x is the number of years.

We have to find the yearly profit in 6 years.

⇒@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@

Substitute in [1] we have;

@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@

⇒@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@

⇒@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

Since, p(x) represents the yearly profit in hundreds of dollars.

@@MATH_TOKEN_5@@

therefore, the yearly profit in year 6 is, $26,700
