Let t be the number of years after 1972. b) Estimate what the goods and services cost $100 in 1972 will cost in 2030 (to the nearest cent). c) Estimate the rate of change of the cost of goods and services in 2030 to 2 decimal places. Interpret the answer and Indicate units. d) In what year will the cost of goods and services be worth 4 times as much as they were in 1972? Type the answers in the space provided.
