Answer

$\displaystyle \lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}I(t)=100.$ The index is expected to be about 100, from the middle of 2012 onwards.

Work Step by Step

$t$ is "approaching $+\infty$" means that $t$ is assuming positive values of greater and greater magnitude. Observing the graph, we have: As $t$ assumes positive values of greater and greater magnitude, the function value approaches the value $100$. So, we write $\displaystyle \lim_{t\rightarrow\infty}I(t)=100.$ The index is expected to be about $100$, from the middle of 2012 onwards.
