Answer:

  C  The cost of living will increase by approximately 5% each year

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume your function is ...

  [tex]f(x)=34000(1.05)^x\qquad\text{x is years}[/tex]

Then the growth factor 1.05 represents a growth rate of 1.05 -1 = .05 = 5% per year. The positive growth rate means the cost of living is increasing.

Noah's cost of living is increasing about 5% per year.
