2) Students in an English class took a final exam. They took equivalent forms of the exam at monthly intervals thereafter. The average score S(t), in percent, after t months was found to be given by

S(t) = 68 − 20 log (t + 1), t ≥ 0.

3) The formula for calculating the amount of money returned for an initial deposit into a bank account or CD (certificate of deposit) is given by

nt

n

r PA 

  

  1

A is the amount of the return. P is the principal amount initially deposited. r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal). n is the number of compound periods in one year. t is the number of years.

Carry all calculations to six decimals on each intermediate step, then round the final answer to the nearest cent.

Suppose you deposit $3,000 for 6 years at a rate of 7%. a) Calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds semi-annually. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer:

c) If a bank compounds continuously, then the formula used is rt

PeA  where e is a constant and equals approximately 2.7183. Calculate A with continuous compounding. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
