Using the exponential growth model, y=a(1+r)t, write a function for the situation: A football card is sold for $2, and its value increases by 8% each year after it is sold. Then find it's value after 25 years.
y=2(1.08)t
Value after 25 yrs: $13.70
The first two terms of a sequence are a1=-2 and a2=4. Let a3 be the third term when the sequence in arithmetic and let b3 be the third term when the sequence is geometric. What is a3 + b3?
a3 = 10, b3 = -8
So a3 + b3 = 2
Mr. Sanchez has $5000 in his savings account and has been earning interest at a rate of 5.5%, compounded monthly. How much INTEREST did he make on his $5000 over 10 years?
