Airen’s grandparents deposited $1300 in a mutual fund earning 6% interest compounded annually. Write an equation to represent how much money (y) Airen would have after x years. Use your equation to determine how much money Airen would have in the account after 18 years.

Sagot :

[tex]~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount \underline{in 18 years}} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$1300\\ r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\dotfill &0.06\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &18 \end{cases}[/tex]

[tex]A=1300\left(1+\frac{0.06}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 18}\implies A=1300(1.06)^{18}\implies A\approx 3710.64 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill y = 1300(1.06)^x~\hfill[/tex]
