7 Theresa bought a house on 2 January 1970. The house was valued by a local estate
agent on the same date every 10 years up to 2010.

The valuation price, V, of the house is related to t, the number of years since 1970.
The variables V and t can be modelled by the equation V = pqt , where p and q are
constants.

The table below gives the values of V and t for some of the years 1970 to 2010.

Year 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010

t 0 10 20 30 40
V ($) 8000 17500 38000 83000 190000

(a) Plot lg V against t and draw a straight line graph on the grid on the next page. [2]

(b) Use your graph to estimate the values of p and q. [3]

(c) Determine the year in which Theresa’s house will first be worth a million [3]
dollars.

(d) Explain whether your answer to part (c) is likely to be reliable. [1]
