Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Identify the function We have the function $y = 332000\cdot(0.99)^{m}$ from part 2a, where $m$ is the number of years. ## Step2: Substitute $m = 6$ Substitute $m = 6$ into the function: $y=332000\times(0.99)^{6}$. ## Step3: Calculate $(0.99)^{6}$ $(0.99)^{6}=0.99\times0.99\times0.99\times0.99\times0.99\times0.99\approx0.941480$. ## Step4: Calculate $y$ $y = 332000\times0.941480\approx312571.36$. # Answer: $312571.36$
