The amount of money in the account, $M, at the end of t years is given by 1000(1.05)tM  . (i) How much will there be in his account on 31st December 1997? (ii) State the year when the amount of investment first exceeds $4000. Starting from 1990, Mr. Andrew also decides to save $100 on 1 st January every year in another account with Bank B which pays the same compound interest annually. The amount of money $N at the end of t years is given by 2100(1.05 1)tN  . State the year in which the money in the account with Bank B first exceeds the amount in the account with Bank A. 14. 2012/H1/NJC/Promo/4 (a) Solve   2 ln 2ln 3xx  , giving your answer in exact form.
