Chapter 7.7, Problem 37PFA

To determine

An equation $m=240{(1.25)}^t$ is given, where $m$ is value of a baseball and t is the numbers of year after 2012 and we have to evaluate value $m$ in the year 2012.

Answer to Problem 37PFA

The value of or the $m$ =240

Explanation of Solution

For the year 2012 the value of t=0, putting this value in the given equation $m=240{(1.25)}^t$ ,

We get

  $\begin{array}{l}$ m=240{(1.25)}^0$\text{ =240}\times \text{1=240}\end{array}$

Here value of ${(1.25)}^0$ =1, because power 0 on any number makes it equal to 1.
