I think we just need to plug in the year into the equation and then add the seasonal factor, but I can't recall the exact steps.

The equation seems straightforward, but I keep mixing up the values for x. Is 2016 x=10 or x=11?

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. The options all seem related to security testing, but I'm not sure which one best fits the description. I'll have to re-read it a few times and see if I can figure it out.
