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.

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
