Samantha is considering investing $1,000 in a savings account that earns 3.55% interest and compounds annually. Which of the following function rules would appropriately model Samantha’s investment? a. f(x) = 3.55x + 1000 b. f(x) = 3.55(1000)x c. f(x) = 1000(.0355)x d. f(x) = 1000(1 + .0355)x

Answer:

Option d. [tex]f(x)=\$1,000(1+0.0355)^{x}[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

[tex]t=x\ years\\ P=\$1,000\\ r=0.0355\\n=1[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]A=\$1,000(1+\frac{0.0355}{1})^{1*x}[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$1,000(1+0.0355)^{x}[/tex]  

Convert to function notation

[tex]f(x)=\$1,000(1+0.0355)^{x}[/tex]
