For the following exercises, use the compound interest formula, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}A\left(t\right)=P{\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)}^{nt}.$

After a certain number of years, the value of an investment account is represented by the equation $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}10,250{\left(1+\frac{0.04}{12}\right)}^{120}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ What is the value of the account?

What was the initial deposit made to the account in the previous exercise?

$10,250$

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 $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}3.6%\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ interest compounded semi-annually. What will the account be worth in $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}20\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years? $13,268.58$ How much more would the account in the previous exercise have been worth if the interest were compounding weekly? Solve the compound interest formula for the principal, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}P$ . $P=A\left(t\right)\cdot {\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)}^{-nt}$ Use the formula found in the previous exercise to calculate the initial deposit of an account that is worth $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}14,472.74\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ after earning $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}5.5%\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ interest compounded monthly for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}5\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ 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 $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}5\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ more years? $4,572.56$ Use properties of rational exponents to solve the compound interest formula for the interest rate, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}r.$ 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. $4%$ 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. $y=3742{\left(e\right)}^{0.75t}$ continuous growth; the growth rate is greater than $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0.$ $y=150{\left(e\right)}^{\frac{3.25}{t}}$ $y=2.25{\left(e\right)}^{-2t}$ continuous decay; the growth rate is less than $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0.$ Suppose an investment account is opened with an initial deposit of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}12,000\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ earning $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}7.2%\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ interest compounded continuously. How much will the account be worth after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}30\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years? How much less would the account from Exercise 42 be worth after $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}30\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ years if it were compounded monthly instead? $669.42$ Numeric For the following exercises, evaluate each function. Round answers to four decimal places, if necessary. $f\left(x\right)=2{\left(5\right)}^{x},$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(-3\right)$ $f\left(x\right)=-{4}^{2x+3},$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(-1\right)$ $f\left(-1\right)=-4$ $f\left(x\right)={e}^{x},$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(3\right)$ $f\left(x\right)=-2{e}^{x-1},$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(-1\right)$ $f\left(-1\right)\approx -0.2707$ $f\left(x\right)=2.7{\left(4\right)}^{-x+1}+1.5,$ for $f\left(-2\right)$ $f\left(x\right)=1.2{e}^{2x}-0.3,$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(3\right)$ $f\left(3\right)\approx 483.8146$ $f\left(x\right)=-\frac{3}{2}{\left(3\right)}^{-x}+\frac{3}{2},$ for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(2\right)$ Technology For the following exercises, use a graphing calculator to find the equation of an exponential function given the points on the curve. $\left(0,3\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(3,375\right)$ $y=3\cdot {5}^{x}$ $\left(3,222.62\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(10,77.456\right)$ $\left(20,29.495\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(150,730.89\right)$ $y\approx 18\cdot {1.025}^{x}$ $\left(5,2.909\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(13,0.005\right)$ $\left(11,310.035\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\left(25,356.3652\right)$ $y\approx 0.2\cdot {1.95}^{x}$ Extensions 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 $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{APY}={\left(1+\frac{r}{12}\right)}^{12}-1.$ Questions & Answers How can you tell what type of parent function a graph is ? Mary Reply generally by how the graph looks and understanding what the base parent functions look like and perform on a graph William if you have a graphed line, you can have an idea by how the directions of the line turns, i.e. negative, positive, zero William y=x will obviously be a straight line with a zero slope William y=x^2 will have a parabolic line opening to positive infinity on both sides of the y axis vice versa with y=-x^2 you'll have both ends of the parabolic line pointing downward heading to negative infinity on both sides of the y axis William y=x will be a straight line, but it will have a slope of one. Remember, if y=1 then x=1, so for every unit you rise you move over positively one unit. To get a straight line with a slope of 0, set y=1 or any integer. Aaron yes, correction on my end, I meant slope of 1 instead of slope of 0 William what is f(x)= Karim Reply I don't understand Joe Typically a function 'f' will take 'x' as input, and produce 'y' as output. As 'f(x)=y'. According to Google, "The range of a function is the complete set of all possible resulting values of the dependent variable (y, usually), after we have substituted the domain." Thomas Sorry, I don't know where the "Â"s came from. They shouldn't be there. Just ignore them. :-) Thomas GREAT ANSWER THOUGH!!! Darius Thanks. Thomas Â Thomas It is the Â that should not be there. It doesn't seem to show if encloses in quotation marks. "Â" or 'Â' ... Â Thomas Now it shows, go figure? Thomas what is this? unknown Reply i do not understand anything unknown lol...it gets better Darius I've been struggling so much through all of this. my final is in four weeks 😭 Tiffany this book is an excellent resource! have you guys ever looked at the online tutoring? there's one that is called "That Tutor Guy" and he goes over a lot of the concepts Darius thank you I have heard of him. I should check him out. Tiffany is there any question in particular? Joe I have always struggled with math. I get lost really easy, if you have any advice for that, it would help tremendously.

Brittany Reply how do you find the period of a sine graph Imani Reply Period =2π if there is a coefficient (b), just divide the coefficient by 2π to get the new period Am if not then how would I find it from a graph Imani by looking at the graph, find the distance between two consecutive maximum points (the highest points of the wave). so if the top of one wave is at point A (1,2) and the next top of the wave is at point B (6,2), then the period is 5, the difference of the x-coordinates. Am you could also do it with two consecutive minimum points or x-intercepts Am I will try that thank u Imani Case of Equilateral Hyperbola Jhon Reply ok Zander ok Shella f(x)=4x+2, find f(3) Benetta f(3)=4(3)+2 f(3)=14 lamoussa 14 Vedant pre calc teacher: "Plug in Plug in...smell's good" f(x)=14 Devante 8x=40 Chris Explain why log a x is not defined for a < 0 Baptiste Reply the sum of any two linear polynomial is what Esther Reply divide simplify each answer 3/2÷5/4 Momo Reply divide simplify each answer 25/3÷5/12 Momo how can are find the domain and range of a relations austin Reply the range is twice of the natural number which is the domain Morolake A cell phone company offers two plans for minutes. Plan A:$15 per month and $2 for every 300 texts. Plan B:$25 per month and $0.50 for every 100 texts. How many texts would you need to send per month for plan B to save you money? Diddy Reply 6000 Robert more than 6000 Robert For Plan A to reach$27/month to surpass Plan B's $26.50 monthly payment, you'll need 3,000 texts which will cost an additional$10.00. So, for the amount of texts you need to send would need to range between 1-100 texts for the 100th increment, times that by 3 for the additional amount of texts...

...for one text payment for 300 for Plan A. So, that means Plan A; in my opinion is for people with text messaging abilities that their fingers burn the monitor for the cell phone. While Plan B would be for loners that doesn't need their fingers to due the talking; but those texts mean more then...
