Sam opened a savings account that compounds interest at a rate of 3% annually. Let P be the initial amount Sam deposited and let t be the number of years the account has been open. a. If Sam opened the account with $500 and made no deposits or withdrawals, how much is in the account 10 years later? b. What is the least number of years it would take for such an account to double in value? Problem of the Day

In 2000, the population of Phoenix was 1,321,045 In 2000, the population of Phoenix was 1,321,045. By 2007, it was estimated at 1,512,986. Write an exponential function that could be used to model the population of Phoenix. Write x in terms of the number of years since 2000. Predict the population of Phoenix in 2020. Example 2
A manufacturer distributed 3.2 million aluminum cans in 2005. In 2010, the manufacturer distributed 420,000 cans made from the recycled cans it had previously distributed. Assuming that the recycling rate continues, write an equation to model the distribution each year of cans that are made from recycled aluminum. How many cans made from recycled aluminum can be expected in the year 2050? Example 2
