            Dear visitor,

            Let me note that your formulation of the question in the post is INCORRECT and NONSENSICAL.

            The correct formulation is THIS :

              Write the tuition cost as a function of time.

Learn it to use correctly in the future.

Solution

ANSWER.  T(t) = 1827 + ,

         where t is time in years after 1989.



It is the same as  T(t) = 1827 + 180*(t-1989).

It is a standard interpolation/extrapolation linear function.
