Q. P(t)=1,800(1.004)tThe function models P, the amount of money, in dollars, in Yara's savings account t years after she opened the account with an initial deposit of $1,800. How much money is in Yara's account 5 years after her initial deposit if she makes no deposits or withdraws in that time?Choose 1 answer:(A) $1,836.29(B) $1,873.31(C) $2,189.98(D) $9,036
Identify function and value: Identify the given function and the value to be substituted.The function given is P(t)=1,800(1.004)t, which models the amount of money in Yara's savings account after t years. We need to find the amount of money after 5 years, so we will substitute t with 5.
Substitute t with 5: Substitute t with 5 in the function to calculate the amount of money after 5 years.P(5)=1,800(1.004)5
Calculate (1.004)5: Calculate the value of (1.004)5.(1.004)5≈1.02020201 (using a calculator for precision)
Multiply by initial deposit: Multiply the initial deposit by the calculated value to find the total amount in the account after 5 years.P(5) = 1,800×1.02020201P(5) ≈1,836.36362
Round to two decimal places: Round the result to two decimal places, as we are dealing with currency.P(5)≈$(1,836.36)
