Real Estate Marjory Duffin has persuaded John O’Hagan to consider investing a portion of OHaganBooks.com profits in real estate, now that the real estate market seems to have bottomed out. A real-estate broker friend of hers emailed her the following (somewhat optimistic) graph from brokersadvocacy.com: Home price index Here, p ( t ) is the home price percentage over the 2003 level. a. Assuming that the trend shown in the graph continues indefinitely, estimate lim t → 3 p ( t ) and lim t → + ∞ p ( t ) , and interpret the result. b. Estimate lim t → + ∞ p ′ ( t ) interpret the result.
