Answer:
The function is [tex]y = 100 \cdot 1.25^t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The table representing balance in the account is presented as follows;
Year  [tex]{}[/tex]   t
0  [tex]{}[/tex]       100
1  [tex]{}[/tex]        125
2  [tex]{}[/tex]       156.25
3 [tex]{}[/tex]        195.31
4 [tex]{}[/tex]        244.14
5 [tex]{}[/tex]        305.18
The given exponential relationship is y = a·b^t
When t = 0, y = 100
We get; 100 = a·b⁰ = a·1
∴ a = 100
When t = 1, y = 125
We get;
125 = 100·b¹
∴ b = 125/100 = 1.25
The function that represent 'y' (in dollars) after 't' years is y = 100×1.25^t
