Please solve the problem
The table shows the national expenditures for health care (in billions of dollars) for selected years from 2002 and projected to 2024. (These data include expenditures for medical research and medical facilities construction.)

Complete parts (a) through (c) below.

**Table: National Expenditures for Health Care**

| Year | Expenditures (in billions) | Year | Expenditures (in billions) |
|------|-----------------------------|------|-----------------------------|
| 2002 | 1601                        | 2014 | 3081                        |
| 2004 | 1856                        | 2016 | 3403                        |
| 2006 | 2114                        | 2018 | 3786                        |
| 2008 | 2414                        | 2020 | 4274                        |
| 2010 | 2605                        | 2022 | 4826                        |
| 2012 | 2818                        | 2024 | 5425                        |

**Tasks:**

a. Find a linear function that models the data, with \( x \) equal to the number of years after 2000 and \( y \) equal to the expenditures for health care in billions of dollars. Report the model with 3 significant digits.

   \( y = \_\_ x + \_\_ \)

b. What does the reported model predict the expenditures will be in 2030?

   \$\_\_ billion (Use the answer from a to find this answer.)

c. During what year does the reported model predict that the national expenditures for health care will be \$7906 billion?

   The reported model predicts that the national expenditures for health care will be \$7906 billion in the year \_\_. (Use the answer from a to find this answer.)
