An investor places $6000 with a 4% return. How much is in the account in 20 years:
a. If the account is compounded annually?
A(20) = 6000(1.04)^20 =

b. If the account is compounded quarterly?
A(20) = 6000(1+(0.04/4))^(4*20)

c. If the account is compounded monthly?
A(20) = 6000(1+(0.04/12))^(12*20)
