Given:

Amount of money A to which a principal investment P will grow after t years at interest rate r, compounded n times per year, is given by the formula,

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

a) P= $4000, r=3% compounded daily.

The function A that models the amount to which the account grows after t years is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=4000(1+\frac{3}{100(365)})^{365t} \\ A=4000(1+\frac{0.03}{365})^{365t} \end{gathered}[/tex]

b) after 30 years the amount will be,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=4000(1+\frac{0.03}{365})^{365t} \\ A=4000(1+\frac{0.03}{365})^{365(30)} \\ A=4000(1.00008)^{10950} \\ A=9838.05 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]A(30)=9838.05[/tex]
