What do you think the answer is?

justjm · Answer

Initial value is 49,300
It's appreciating, or increasing, by 2.9% *annually*. In math speak, it's increasing by a factor of 1.029.
You can represent the scenario by this equation:

$f(t)=49,300(1.029)^t$
Where t = time

It's asking for profit after 9 years, so find f(9) given the function I gave you.

jhonyy9 · Answer

first of all you need calcule how many is 2,9% of $49300 so this mean that you know how many is the profit of 1 year

so to get the profit for 9 years just you need multiply the profit of 1 year by 9
