TERMINAL ACTIVITY(Problem Set)

1. Suppose that a couple invested ₱50,000.00 in an account when their

child was born, to prepare for their child’s college education. If the
average interest rate is 5.2% compounded annually, give an exponential
model for the situation. What is the amount at the time the child turns
18 years old?
Given: Solution:
P = ₱50,000.00 t
y = P(1 + r)
r = 5.2% = 0.052 18
y = 50,000(1 + 0.052)
t = 18 years 18
y = 50,000(1.052)
Formula:
t Answer: y = 124524.0741
y = P(1 + r)
The amount at the time the
child turns 18 years old is
₱124,524.
2. A population starts with 1,000 individuals and doubles every 80 years.
Give an exponential model for the situation. What is the size of the
population after 200 years?
Given: Solution: X
A = 1000 individuals y = A (½) H
H = 80 years 200
y = 1000 (½) 80
x = 200 years
y = 1000 (½) 2.5
Formula: y = 1000 (0.1767766953)
X
y=A (½) H
Answer: y = 176.7766953
The size of the
population after 200
years is 177.
