Question 617944
equation is A = 4800 * e^(.055t)
looks to me like the initial investment is 4800.
when t = 0, the value of A = 4800 * e^(.055t) becomes 4800 * e^0 which becomes 4800 * 1 which becomes 4800.
when t = 0, the year is 2000 + 0 = 2000.
that's the year of your initial investment.
that makes 4800 your initial investment.
