Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Formula to be used,

   A = P(1 + i)ⁿ

       = 100(1 + 0.09)¹

       = $109

b). Formula to be used,

   A = [tex]P(1+\frac{i}{12})^{12n}[/tex]

       = [tex]100(1+\frac{0.09}{12})^{12\times 1}[/tex]

       = [tex]100(1+0.0075)^{12}[/tex]

       = 100 × 1.0938

       = $109.38

(c). Formula to be used,

     A = [tex]Pe^{i\times n}[/tex]

         = [tex]100e^{1\times 0.09}[/tex]

         = [tex]100(e)^{0.09}[/tex]

         = $109.42
