Explanation:

your teacher gave you the formula, the values, even did the tricky part by telling you that 63 months are 5.25 years.

all you need to do is put everything into the formula and calculate.

so, calm down, breathe and just use common sense :

1.

after 2 years (means t = 2) :

2000 × (1.025)^(2×2) = 2000 × (1.025)⁴ =

= 2000 × 1.103812890625 =

= $2,207.62578125 ≈ $2,207.63

as rounding to the nearest cent means rounding to 2 positions after the decimal point.

2.

after 63 months = 5.25 years (t = 5.25)

2000 × (1.025)^(2×5.25) = 2000 × (1.025)^10.5 =

= 2000 × 1.295986825... =

= $2,591.973651... ≈ $2,591.97

3.

$2,000

because, even t = 0 we have

2000 × (1.025)^(2×0) = 2000 × (1.025)⁰ = 2000 × 1 =

= $2,000
