b. ) Finding an interest rate: Suppose you invest J$ 150,000 in a special 5 year savings account with
a fixed annual rate r, with monthly compounding. The amount of money A in the account after
5years (60 months) is: A(r) = 150,000( 1 + r12) . Your goal is to have $200,000 in the account
after 5 years.

Use the Intermediate value theorem to show there is a value of r in ( 0,0.07) that is an interest rate
between 0% and 7% for which A(r ) = 200,000
