(a) Find a formula for B(t), the price of a textbook in year t if it cost $B0 in 1980. (b) Find a formula for P(t), the price of an item in year t if it cost $P0 in 1980 and its price rose according to inflation. (c) A textbook cost $50 in 1980. When is its price predicted to be double the price that would have resulted from inflation alone

In November 2010, a tiger summit was held in St. Petersburg, Russia.28 In 1900, there were 100,000 wild tigers worldwide; in 2010 the number was 3200.
