Answer: $6,800

Explanation:

Given: The investment of $1,700 doubles in value every 10 years.

Here initial value A= 1700,

Multiplicative rate of change b=2

The exponential function for the given problem will be :-


y=Ab^x


\\\Rightarrow y=1700(2)^t, where t is the time period of ever 10 years.

After 20 years (t=2) the amount will be =
=1700(2)^2=\$\ 6,800
