For the following exercises, use the compound interest formula,
After a certain number of years, the value of an investment account is represented by the equation What is the value of the account?
What was the initial deposit made to the account in the previous exercise?
How many years had the account from the previous exercise been accumulating interest?
An account is opened with an initial deposit of $6,500 and earns interest compounded semi-annually. What will the account be worth in years?
How much more would the account in the previous exercise have been worth if the interest were compounding weekly?
Use the formula found in the previous exercise to calculate the initial deposit of an account that is worth after earning interest compounded monthly for years. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
How much more would the account in the previous two exercises be worth if it were earning interest for more years?
Use properties of rational exponents to solve the compound interest formula for the interest rate,
Use the formula found in the previous exercise to calculate the interest rate for an account that was compounded semi-annually, had an initial deposit of $9,000 and was worth $13,373.53 after 10 years.
Use the formula found in the previous exercise to calculate the interest rate for an account that was compounded monthly, had an initial deposit of $5,500, and was worth $38,455 after 30 years.
For the following exercises, determine whether the equation represents continuous growth, continuous decay, or neither. Explain.
Suppose an investment account is opened with an initial deposit of earning interest compounded continuously. How much will the account be worth after years?
How much less would the account from Exercise 42 be worth after years if it were compounded monthly instead?
For the following exercises, evaluate each function. Round answers to four decimal places, if necessary.
For the following exercises, use a graphing calculator to find the equation of an exponential function given the points on the curve.
The annual percentage yield (APY) of an investment account is a representation of the actual interest rate earned on a compounding account. It is based on a compounding period of one year. Show that the APY of an account that compounds monthly can be found with the formula
