Sequences & SeriesThe compound interest formula is in the next textbox, where R is the future value of the investment, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), n is the number of times interest is compounded each year, t is the number of years the principle is invested, and P is the principle which represents the original amount of money invested.
Mary invested $1000 at 5% annual interest in an account that compounds interest 4 times per
year. If she kept her money in the account for 5 years, how much will her future value be?
