The value of a particular investment changes over time according to the function $$S(t)=5000 e^{0.1\left(e^{0.25}\right)}$$ where $S(t)$ is the value after $t$ years. Calculate the rate at which the value of the investment is changing after 8 years. (Choose one of the following.) Source: Society of Actuaries. a. 618 b. 1934 c. 2011 d. 7735 e. 10,468

The value of an investment increases at 4% per year. If the initial investment is 1100, give the function that gives the value of the investment after t years. Use the form A(t) = Ao(1 + r)^t. A(t) = 1100(1 + .04)^t Now convert the function to the form A(t) = Aoe^rt (the r is different). A(t) = Round any decimal to 4 decimal places.
