Complete question :

Lower-than-expected demand for LCD TVs has spurred manufacturers to cut prices in recent years. The average price P of a 32-in. LCD TV t years after 2005 can be approximated by P(t) 1052(0.793), where t0 corresponds to 2005 a) What was the average price of an LCD TV in 2005? in 2009? in 2011?

Answer:

1052 ; 416.01 ; 261.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the price function :

P(t) = t0(0.793)^t

P(t) = 1052(0.793)^t

Price in 2005 = 1052

The average price of LCD in 2005 is t0

t - t0 = 2005 - 2005 = 0

P(0) = 1052(0.793)^0 ;

P(0) = 1052 * 1 =

Price in 2005 = 1052

Price in 2009 :

t = 2009 - 2005 = 4

P(t) = t0(0.793)^t

P(4) = 1052(0.793)^4

P(4) = 1052 * 0.39534 = 416.0145

Price of LCD in 2009 = 416.01

Price in 2011

t = 2011 - 2005 = 6

P(t) = t0(0.793)^t

P(6) = 1052(0.793)^6

P(6) = 1052 * 0.248679 = 261.6103

Price of LCD in 2009 = 261.61
