Answer

$I(t)=1500t+57,000,$ median household income in 2005$:\quad{{\$}} 66,000$

Work Step by Step

The instaneous rate of change of $I$ is $I'(t)=1500$ $I(t)=\displaystyle \int(1500)dt=1500t+C$ To find C, use the given information: $I(0)=57,000$ $57,000=1200(0)+C$ $C=57,000$ $I(t)=1500t+57,000$ The year 2006 is $t=6$ years after 2000. $I(5)=1500(6)+57,000=66,000$
