The final answer will be 4724.319
You will be using the formula y=ab^x
And plug your starting value or y-intercept in for A. Your B is the rate of interest since she is gaining and not decreasing value it will be over 1 so here it is 1.025. Finally your x power is rate of time which in this case is 4. Plug it all in to a calc and you get an answer of 4724.319
