Hi,
$4000 is invested in an account paying 5% interest compounded annually
In General A+=+P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5Ent
A = Accumulated Amount
P= principal = 4000
r= annual rate = .05
n= periods per year = 1
t= years =
A+=+4000%281.05%29%5Et
Find the balance in the account after 6 years.
A+=+4000%281.05%29%5E6
