In t years the increase in cost due to inflation
is 10000*.035*t
The cost of the car will be what it costs now
plus the increase in cost

Cost of the car = $10,000
Inflation rate = 3.5%
= 0.035
cost of the car in the next year = 10,000* (1.035)
That is cost of the car 1 year from now = 10000*(1.035)^1
==> cost of the car t years from now = 10000*(1.035)^t
c(t) = 10,000*(1.035)^t
Good Luck!!!
