You invest \(\dollar\)2,000 in an account with compound interest that grows by \(5\pourcent\) each year. Let \(u_n\) be the total amount in the account after \(n\) years.
  • Part A: Write the Explicit Formula
    To increase by \(5\pourcent\), we multiply by \(1.05\). The formula for the amount after \(n\) years is:
    \(u_n =\)
  • Part B: Calculate a Future Value
    What will the balance be after 10 years? (Round to two decimal places)
    \(u_{10} =\)
