Answer:

The answer is "
f(x) = 3(1.05)x + 2".

Explanation:

She starts off with 3 hours with pop music.

Next month, she will have 3 hours she has had and + 3*0.05.

3hrs + 3*0.05hrs = 3*1.05 hrs

We add 2 hours of classical music to the 3 * 1.05 hours to achieve 3 * (1.05) hours + 2 hours of classical music.
