Question

Investment increase exponentially by about 26% every 3 years. if you start with $2,000 investment how much money would you have after 45 years

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that you would have an amount of $64,060 in 45 years.

What is an exponential function?

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

$A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t$

In which:

• A(0) is the initial value.

• r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, considering the initial value of A(0) = 2000, with a growth rate of r = 0.26 each 3 years, the equation is given by:

$A(t) = 2000(1.26)^{\frac{t}{3}}$

In 45 years, the amount will be given by:

$A(45) = 2000(1.26)^{\frac{45}{3}} = 64060$
