Question
Repeat the previous exercise to find the formula for the APY of an account that compounds daily. Use the results from this and the previous exercise to develop a function $I(n)$ for the APY of any account that compounds $n$ times per year.
Step 1
From the previous exercise, we found that the formula for the APY of an account that compounds annually is given by: APY = (1 + r/n)^n - 1 In this case, since the account compounds daily, we have n = 365 (assuming there are 365 days in a year). Therefore, the Show more…
