Answer:
P(t) = 282.2(1.009)^t
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the attached image.
Hope you can read my handwriting. the image cut off the right side, b = 1.009213324... but question asks to round to nearest thousandth so it's 1.009
For the second part just use the equation to find P when t = -1 and see if P is less than (underpredicts) the number from the question or greater than (overpredicts) the number. I haven't calculated it but I think it will be smaller and thus underpredicts just from looking at the numbers when t = -1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for this equation is

a is the final result
p is the starting amount (deposited)
r is the interest rate
n is the number of times it's compounded
t is the time
because it says compound annually and it's after 2 years both t and n equal 2. I rounded a for you, but if you don't need it rounded here it is: 3863.345117
Please double check me I may be wrong, this is my second time doing these type of questions
