Determine the models that could represent a compound interest account that is growing exponentially.

Select all the correct answers,

A(t) = 2,675(1.003)120

A(t) = 4,170(1.04)

A(t) = 3,500(0.997)4t

A(t) = 5,750(1.0024)20

A(t) = 1,500(0.998)127

A(t) = 2,950(0.999)

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]A(t) = 2,675(1.003)^{120}[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 4,170(1.04)[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 5,750(1.0024)^{20}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth equation is given by :-

[tex]y=Ab^x[/tex] , where A = initial value , x= time period , b= growth factor.

The growth factor should be greater than 1.

From all the given options , the equations that are exponential :

[tex]A(t) = 2,675(1.003)^{120}[/tex]  , here b= 1.003

[tex]A(t) = 4,170(1.04)[/tex] , here b= 1.04

[tex]A(t) = 3,500(0.997)^{4t}[/tex]  , here b=  0.997

[tex]A(t) = 5,750(1.0024)^{20}[/tex]  , here b= 1.0024

[tex]A(t) = 1,500(0.998)^{127}[/tex]  , here b= 0.998

[tex]A(t) = 2,950(0.999)[/tex] , here b= 0.999

From the above exponential equations , only first  , second and fourth equation has b>1.

So , the models that could represent a compound interest account that is growing exponentially. are :

[tex]A(t) = 2,675(1.003)^{120}[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 4,170(1.04)[/tex]

[tex]A(t) = 5,750(1.0024)^{20}[/tex]
