Jackson is going to invest $33,000 and leave it in an account for 20 years. Assuming the interest is compounded continuously, what interest rate, to the nearest tenth of a percent, would be required in order for Jackson to end up with $133,000?

Rate = 7.0% per year

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: rate = In(A/P)/t

I = interest

n = compound, in this case continuous

A = Total amount ($133,000)

P = Principal ($33,000)

t = time (20 years)

Plug in the values and solve:

rate = In(133000/33000)/20

rate = 0.06969

Convert to percentage:

rate = 6.969%

Round to the nearest tenth of a percent:

rate = 7.0%

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
