The impact of a 6% inflation rate on an $90,000-per-year pension can be severe. If P represents the purchasing power (in dollars) of an $90,000 pension, then the effect of a 6% inflation rate can be modeled by the differential equation dP = -0.06P, P(0) = 90,000 dt = where t is in years. (a) Find the particular solution to this differential equation. x (b) Find the purchasing power after 10 years. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ x See the rounding prompt for how many decimal places are needed.
