Hello, 
may you please help me, Thank you I appreciate it. 
 
Growth and Decay Functions a) If you invest $1250 in an account that earns 6% compounded quarterly, the amount you will have in the account, S(x), after x years is given by 
 
 
Calculate the amount of money in the account, S(x), after 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 years and the interest earned in the account.

Is this an exponential growth or decay function? How much more money would you earn in interest if you left the money in the account 10 years instead of 4 years? What is the S – intercept (y-intercept) for this function and what does it represent?
