Question

1. The price of gas has increased over time due to inflation and other factors.
Assume that the equation y = 1.26(1.10) x represents the price of gas for the years after 2000.
Using this equation, fill in the following T-table for the years 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010. Use X = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 to represent these years (the number of years after 2000). Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation representing the price of gas for the years after 2000 is expressed as

y = 1.26(1.10)^x

Where x = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 represent these years : 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2010, the table would be

1) x = 0(2000)

y = 1.26(1.10)^0

y = 1.3

2) x = 2(2002)

y = 1.26(1.10)^2

y = 1.5

3) x = 4(2004)

y = 1.26(1.10)^4

y = 1.8

4) x = 6(2004)

y = 1.26(1.10)^6

y = 2.2

5) x = 8(2006)

y = 1.26(1.10)^8

y = 2.7

6) x = 10(2008)

y = 1.26(1.10)^10

y = 3.3
