Suppose you deposit m dollars the beginning of every month in a savings account that earns a monthly interest rate of r. For an initial investment of m dollars, the amount of money in your account at the beginning of the second month is the sum of your second deposit and your initial deposit plus interest. Denote by An the amount of money in your account in the nth month. 1. Explain why A₁ = m dollars. 2. Explain why A₂ = m+m(1+r) dollars. 3. Write down explicit expressions for A3 and A4. This is the crucial step. 4. Explain why An = m+m(1 + r) + m(1 + r)² + ... +m(1 + r)"−¹ dollars. 5. Use the formula for a geometric sum to show that An = m (1 + r)” − 1 r dollars. 6.
