Answer:

Part A.

[tex]P=1200(1.1)^t[/tex]

Part B

Year Money deposited

2006 1200

2010 1756.92

2014 2572.31

2018 3766.11

2022 5513.97

Explanation:

Since the saving of each year is increasing by 10%, we can describe the situation with an exponential growth formula:

[tex]P=P_0(1+r)^t[/tex]

Where P0 is the initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the number of years after 2006. So, replacing P0 by 1200 and r by 10%, which is equivalent to 0.1, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=1200(1+0.1)^t \\ P=1200(1.1)^t \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, to calculate the money deposited in 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022, we need to replace t by 4, 8, 12, and 16 respectively. So, for each year, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=1200(1.1)^4=1756.92 \\ P=1200(1.1)^8=2572.31 \\ P=1200(1.1)^{12}=3766.11 \\ P=1200(1.1)^{16}=5513.97 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, we can complete the table as:

Year Money deposited

2006 1200

2010 1756.92

2014 2572.31

2018 3766.11

2022 5513.97
