Answer:

Variables: b= final balance, x= initial investment, and r= return rate

  • For one year

                 -b=x(1+r)

  • For two years

                  -b = x(1 + r)(1 + r) = x(1 + r) to the 2nd

  • For three years

                  -b=x(1 + r)to the second(1 + r) = I(1 + r)to the third

  • What pattern is forming?

                  -The final balance each year is equal to the previous year’s final balance multiplied by 1 + r.

  • t=time
  • Use all the variables to write a formula to find the final balance of the savings account after any number of years.

                  -b= x(1 + r)to the power of t

  • Assume that Brad makes an initial investment of $2,000. Use your formula to find the final balance of the savings account after 15 years.

                  -b= x(1 + r)to the power of t = $2,000(1 + 0.03)to the 15th ≈ $3,115.93

Return rate, r = 3% = 0.03
x = initial investment
b = final balance

After 1 year, the balance i
b = initial investment + interest
b = x + r*x = (1 + r)*x

Because r = 0.03,
b = 1.03x   (after 1 year)
