P=Po(1+(r/n)^nt, t=time in years, r=rate, n=number of compoundings per year
=17000(1+.046)^12, round at the end=$29162.79
=17000(1+(.046/12))^144, =$29493.15
=17000(1+.046/365))^(365*12)=$29523.26
=Poe^(rt)=Poe^(.552)=$29524.29
interest earned is each of the above minus $17000 that was the principal.
