Plain-text version
Given the difference equation Yₜ₊₁ - 1.2Yₜ = 0, the general expression for Yₜ in terms of t can be: (A) Yₜ = (1.2)^t Y₁ (B) Yₜ = (1.2)^(t+1) Y₀ (C) Yₜ = (1.2)^(t-1) Y₁ (D) Yₜ = (1.2)^(t-1) Y₀ + C
Also written as: Given the difference equation Y_(t+1) - 1.2Y_t = 0, the general expression for Y_t in terms of t can be:
