On 1st January 2020, Laurie invests P dollars in an account that pays a nominal annual interest rate of 5.5%, compounded quarter

ly. The amount of money in Laurie’s account at the end of each year follows a geometric sequence with a common ratio, r. Find the value of r. Also, Laurie makes no further deposits to or withdrawals from the account. Find the year in which the amount of money in Laurie’s account will become double the amount she invested.

Answer:

1) The common ratio =  1.055

2) The year in which the amount of money in Laurie's account will become double is the year 2032

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given information are;

The date Laurie made the investment = 1st, January, 2020

The annual interest rate of the investment = 5.5%

Type of interest rate = Compound interest

Therefore, we have;

The value, amount, of the investment after a given number of year, given as follows;

Amount in her account = a, a × (1 + i), a × (1 + i)², a × (1 + i)³, a × (1 + i)ⁿ

Which is in the form of the sum of a geometric progression, Sₙ given as follows;

Sₙ = a + a × r + a × r² + a × r³ + ... + a × rⁿ

Where;

n = The number of years

Therefore, the common ratio = 1 + i = r = 1 + 0.055 = 1.055

The common ratio =  1.055

2) When the money doubles, we have;

2·a = a × rⁿ = a × 1.055ⁿ

2·a = a × 1.055ⁿ

2·a/a = 2 = 1.055ⁿ

2 = 1.055ⁿ

Taking log of both sides gives;

㏒2 = ㏒(1.055ⁿ) = n × ㏒(1.055)

㏒2 = n × ㏒(1.055)

n = ㏒2/(㏒(1.055)) ≈ 12.95

The number of years it will take for the amount of money in Laurie's account to double = n = 12.95 years

Therefore, the year in which the amount of money in Laurie's account will become double = 2020 + 12..95 = 2032.95 which is the year 2032

The year in which the amount of money in Laurie's account will become double = year 2032.

The Alpitude is 5 because that is what the positive slope is. The Vertex is (2,6) because that is the lowest point on the graph. The equation is

y=5lx-2l-6 (lx-2l reprsents the absolute value of x-2)
