Tonya purchased a building for $295,150. The land appreciates about 5.6% each year. What is the value of the land after 17 years?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

\(295150 * \underbrace{1.056 * 1.056 * 1.056 * ... * 1.056}_{17\;times}\) Can you think of a more convenient way to write that?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

In 17 years, land will increase in value by 1.056 ^ 17

i got $745,297.04 as my answer

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

So, land value after 17 years = 295,150 * 2.5251466742 = 745,297

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes that's it !!!
