Given:

P=$4200

r=5.75%

n=1 because of same year

Required:

We have to find the exponential function showing the relationship between y and t

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the formula of compound interest which is given below


y=P^(1+(r)/(n))^(nt)^

where y is the value of investment at the end of the year

now put the all values in formula


y=4200(1+(0.0575)/(1))^t

Final Answer:


y=4200(1.0575)^t

be the exponential function between y and t
