Question 623393: Part IV: Using Exponential Functions
Investing is an important topic for individuals in all areas. Suppose you wish to invest $10,000 in a money market account that earns 4% interest compounded annually. How much would the investment be worth after 10 years? Show all calculations.

A=10000(1.04)^10
A=10000(1.48
A=$14,800
--------------
A=10000(1+0.04/4)^4*10
A=10000(1.01)^40
A=10000(1.48886)
A=$14,888.60
