Using the equation, y=10000(0.97)x predict the purchasing power of $10000 ten years later

The purchasing power is $7374

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an equation

where,  

y represents purchasing power.

x represents the number of years.

We need to find purchasing power of $10000 after 10 years.

Put x=10 into equation and solve for y

After 10 years the purchasing power of $10000 becomes $7374

As we can see the value of the product decrease.

Hence, The purchasing power is $7374
