Answer:


y\text{ = 50}\cdot1.03^(10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the equation that represents the value of the stock after 10 months

This will follow an exponential pattern and we have it as follows:


y=I(1+r)^n

Where y is the value of the stock after 10 months

I is the initial value of the stock which is $50

r is the percentage increase which is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

n is the number of months which is 10

Mathematically, we substitute these values into the equation above:


\begin{gathered} y=50(1+0.03)^(10) \\ y\text{ = 50}\cdot1.03^(10) \end{gathered}
