Answer:

C .The initial amount of money placed in the savings account

Explanation:

f(x) = 3,267(1 + 0.02)^x

This is in the form

y = a b^x

where a is the initial amount

b is the growth rate

x is the time

3267 is the initial amount

1.02 is the growth rate, so it grows by .02 or 2 percent

and x is the time
