- Reminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Continuous CompoundingThis is a continuation of Exercise 22. In this exercise, we examine the relationship between APR and the APY when interest is compounded continuously-in other words, at every instant. We will see by means of an example that the relationship is Yearlygrowthfactor=eAPR,(4.1) and so APY=eAPR1(4.2) if both the APR and the APY are in decimal form and interest is compounded continuously. Assume that the APR is 10, or 0.1 as a decimal. a.The yearly growth factor for continuous compounding is just the limiting value of the function given by the formula in part b of Exercise 22. Find that limiting value to four decimal places. b.Compute eAPR with an APR of 0.1 as a decimal. c.Use your answers to parts a and b to verify that Equation 4.1 holds in the case where the APR is 10. Note: On the basis of part a, one conclusion is that there is a limit to the increase in the yearly growth factor and hence in the APY as the number of compounding periods increases. We might have expected the APY to increase without limit for more and more frequent compounding. 22. APR and APYRecall that financial institutions sometimes report the annual interest rate that they offer on investments as the APR, often called the nominal interest rate. To indicate how an investment will actually grow, they advertise the annual percentage yield, or APY. In mathematical terms, this is the yearly percentage growth rate for the exponential function that models the account balance. In this exercise and the next, we study the relationship between the APR and the APY. We assume that the APR is 10. or 0.1 as a decimal. To determine the APY when we know the APR, we need to know how often interest is compounded. For example, suppose for the moment that interest is compounded twice a year. Then to say that the APR is 10 means that in half a year, the balance grows by 102 or 5. In other words, the 12-year percentage growth rate is 0.12 as a decimal. Thus, the 12-year growth factor is 1+0.12. To find the yearly growth factor, we need to perform a unit conversion: One year is 2 half-year periods, so the yearly growth factor is (1+0.12)2 or 1.1025. a.What is the yearly growth factor if interest is compounded four times a year? b.Assume that interest is compounded n times each year. Explain why the formula for the yearly growth factor is (1+0.1n)n. c.What is the yearly growth factor if interest is compounded daily? Give your answer to four decimal places.arrow_forwardReminder Round all answers to two decimal places unless otherwise indicated. Logistic Formula A population grows according to the logistic model.

Further Analysis of Population Growth This is a continuation of Exercise 3. Our goal is to make an exponential model or the data and use it to get a more accurate estimate of the rate of change in population in 1955. a. Use regression to obtain an exponential model for population growth. For details on the method used here, see Section 4.4. b. Use the formula you found in part a to get dNdt in 1955. c. How does your answer from part b of this exercise compare with your answer from part a of exercise 3? Does this agree with your answer in part c of Exercise 3? Population Growth The following table shows the population of reindeer on an island as of the given year. date 1945 1950 1955 1960 population 40 165 678 2793 We let t be the number of years since 1945, so that t=0 corresponds to 1945. and we let N=N(t) denote the population size. a. Approximate dNdt for 1955 using the average rate of change from 1955 to 1960, and explain what this number means in practical terms. b. Use your work from part a to estimate the population in 1957. c. The number you calculated in part a is an approximation to the actual rate of change. As you will be asked to show in the next exercise, the reindeer population growth can be closely modeled by an exponential function. With this in mind, du you think your answer in part a is too large or too small? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
