Question

The value of Yong's investment account increases at a rate that is proportional at any time to the value of the account at that time.
Her account was worth $2000 initially, and it increases by 10%, percent every 4 years.

What is the value of Yong's investment account after 7 years?

Choose 1 answer:

(A) $2036

(B) $2350

(C) $2363

Answer 1

Using an exponential function, it is found that the value of Yong's investment account after 7 years is given by:

(C) $2363

What is an exponential function?

It is modeled by:

$y = ab^x$

In which:

• a is the initial value.

• b is the rate of change.

Her account was worth $2000 initially, and it increases by 10%, percent every 4 years, hence, it is modeled by:

$y(t) = 2000(1.1)^{\frac{t}{4}}$

After 7 years, the amount is:

$y(7) = 2000(1.1)^{\frac{7}{4}} = 2363$

Hence option C is correct.
