Answer:

In the given table the purchasing power of first year is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y=20000(0.95)^x

In first year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{1}=19000

The purchasing power of first year is incorrect.

In second year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{2}=18050

In third year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{3}=17147.5\approx 17148

In fourth year, the purchasing power is

y=20000(0.95)^{4}=16290.125\approx 16290

Therefore in the given table the purchasing power of 2, 3, and 4 years are correct.

We simply substitute the values of x and check if the values of y match.
y(1) = 19,000
y(2) = 18,050
y(3) = 17,148
y(4) = 16,290

As is visible from the table, the first value quoted is incorrect.
