The price of movie tickets has increased over time with inflation. Let's let the equation y = 0.50(1.06)x represent the price of movie tickets for the years after 1950.

Using this equation, fill in the following T-table for the years 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990. Use X = 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 to represent these years (the number of years after 1950).

Question

The price of movie tickets has increased over time with inflation. Let's let the equation y = 0.50(1.06)x represent the price of movie tickets for the years after 1950.

Using this equation, fill in the following T-table for the years 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990. Use X = 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 to represent these years (the number of years after 1950).

So you would just plug in the number of years AFTER 1950 in for x

aka...

how many years after 1950 is 1950?
how many years after 1950 is 1960?
how many years after 1950 is 1970?
how many years after 1950 is 1980?
how many years after 1950 is 1990?

They've done this for you by writing X = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40

So just plug those in for X in the equation

johnweldon1993 · Answer

$$y = .50(1.06)^x$$

yes in this equation (just had to clarify the X was the exponent)
