An investment of $2500 is made with the following conditions: For the first 3 years, the annual simple interest rate is 5%. For the next 2 years, the annual simple interest rate changes to 6%. Calculate the total interest earned by the end of 5 years. Draw a graph showing the amount of simple interest earned over the 5-year period. Estimate the interest earned after 7 years if the annual interest rate remains 6% for the 6th and 7th years
