Answer 2

The monthly rent for an apartment near the 6-mile marker cost around $1,520.

Explanation:

The given function is

`y=-35x^(2) +505x-250`

Where
`x` is miles and
`y` is dollars.

If
`x=6` miles, the monthly rent apartment would be the solution of the function for this value.

`y=-35(6)^(2) +505(6)-250=-35(36)+3030-250\\y=-1260+2780\\y=1520`

Therefore, the monthly rent for an apartment near the 6-mile marker cost around $1,520.
