How many infected people are there initially? How many people are infected after five days? An infectious disease begins to spread in a small city of population 10,000. After t days, the number of persons who have succumbed to the virus is modeled by the function:
Compound Interest P = Principal r = rate t = time in years n = number of times it’s compounded per year Compounded: annually n = 1 quarterly n = 4 monthly n = 12 daily n = 365
Find the Final Amount: $8000 at 6.5% compounded quarterly for 8 years
Find the Final Amount: $600 at 9% compounded daily for 20 years
Find the Final Amount: $300 at 6% compounded annually for 25 years
Compounded Continuously: P = Principal r = rate t = time in years E = 2.718281828…
Find the Final Amount: $2500 at 4% compounded continuously for 25 years
Suppose your are offered a job that lasts one month, and you are to be very well paid. Which of the following methods of payment is more profitable for you? How much will you make? • One million dollars at the end of the month. • Two cents on the first day of the month, 4 cents on the second day, 8 cents on the third day, and, in general, 2n cents on the nth day. More Profitable
