The function f(x) = (1.007207)^12x models the monthly interest that a bank offers to Dan after x years. Dan converts the function to have x isolated in the exponent. What is the approximate rate of growth? 1% 5% 9% 12%

GL.

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found out the answer!

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We were MULTIPLYING the 12. But the 12 is an exponent (f(x) = (1.007207)^12x). We were supposed to raise 1.007207 to the twelfth power. So the answer is 1%.

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

Ohhh lol!!! im an idiot!!!

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

Why did i not see the ^!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
