Answer:


500\leq 100(1.05)^t

Explanation:

Given,

The initial deposit, P = $ 100,

Annual increasing rate, r = 5 %,

Thus, the amount after t years,


A=P(1+(r)/(100))^t


=100(1+(5)/(100))^t


=100(1+0.05)^t


\implies A = 100(1.05)^t

According to the question,

A ≥ $ 500


\implies 500\leq 100(1.05)^t

Which is the required inequality that can be used the value of t.
