Question
100%
Suppose you invest $250 at the end of each year for 10 years at an annual interest rate of r. The
accumulated amount of money in your account after 10 years is given by
250((1 + r)¹⁰ − 1)
r
A(r)
1. Are there any values of r for which the function A is discontinuous? Why?
=
2. How much money will you accumulate after 10 years if the interest rate is r = 0.01 (i.e., 1%)?
If it is r= 0.10 (i.e., 10%)?
3. If your goal is to have $3500 in your account after 10 years, show that there is an interest rate
r in the interval (0.01,0.10) that allows you to reach your financial goal. (You do not need to
find the interest rate.) Fully explain your reasoning.
