  • Almost:

    Lengths are usually reals, and in this case the diagram suggests we can assume that A is the origin wlog (and the sides are badly drawn vectors without a direction)

    Next we convert the vectors into lengths using the abs function (root of conjugate multiplication). This gives us lengths of 1 for both.

    Finally, we can just use a Euclidean metric to get our other length √2.

    Squaring isn’t multiplication by complex conjugate, that’s just mapping a vector to a scalar (the complex | x | function).

    So if the average price was $50 in 2000, and is about $70 today, assuming a linear rate of price increases, it would be $1663.33 in 4024.

    This is a terrible model: it likely underestimates as inflation is geometric rather than arithmetic.

    For a geometric model we have r=1.011329 over this period, thus extrapolating we get a price of…

    $208,200,000,000

    Which is insane, because it is so low for Nintendo!
