Mr. Valdez puts $10,000 in a retirement account and does not make any deposits or withdrawals. The table below shows the amount of money in the account after x years.

What values, rounded to the nearest hundredth, complete the exponential regression equation that models the data?

Mr Valdez puts 10000 in a retirement account and does not make any deposits or withdrawals The table below shows the amount of money in the account after x year class=

Respuesta :

I think that is the wrong Chart for the question but the answer is;

f(x) =  9,974.73  ( 1.05 )x

Without making any deposit or withdrawal, the initial $10000 will grow at an exponential rate. While the initial amount of $10000 remains unchanged, the amount after x years is  [tex]y =10500 \times (1.09)^x[/tex]

Given that the data on the attached table:

An exponential regression equation is represented as: [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

Where:

[tex]a \to[/tex] initial value

[tex]b \to[/tex] rate

When x = 0, y =10500

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex] becomes

[tex]10500 = ab^0[/tex]

[tex]10500 = a[/tex]

[tex]a=10500[/tex]

When x = 5, y=16000

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex] becomes

[tex]16000 = ab^5[/tex]

Substitute [tex]a=10500[/tex]

[tex]16000 = 10500b^5[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10500

[tex]1.52 = b^5[/tex]

Take 5th root of both sides

[tex]1.09= b[/tex]

[tex]b =1.09[/tex]

So, the exponential equation [tex]y = ab^x[/tex] is:

[tex]y =10500 \times (1.09)^x[/tex]
