The number of currency units (V) it takes to equal the value of 1 currency unit in 1917 can be estimated by the linear function given by V(x) = 0.3514x + 14.4472, where x is the number of years since 1990.
a). In 2014, x = 2014-1990 = 24 so that V(24) = 0.3514 *24 + 14.4472 = 8.4336+14.4472 = 22.8808 , say 22.88 ( on rounding off to 2 decimal places).Thus, in 2014, it will take 22.88 currency units.
b). In 2022, x = 2022-1990 = 32 so that V(24) = 0.3514 *32 + 14.4472 = 11.2448+14.4472 = 22.692 , say 22.69 ( on rounding off to 2 decimal places).Thus, in 2022, it will take 25.69 currency units.
