OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see. the answer is 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh its Let y = 20,000(0.95)^x represent the buying power of $20,000 with an inflation rate of 5% per year. The table below represents the first four years later. Which year is incorrect?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forgot the ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you do 20,000*0.95 you get 19,000, not 19,100 if you do 19,000*0.95 you get 18,050 which is correct 18,050*0.95 = 17,148. so they are all right if you use the right value for 20,000*0.95 so the first one is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
