Which recursive definition models the growth of a one time investment of $6000 in a bank account with a yearly interest of 3% compounded monthly after n years

First, we determine the effective interest rate given that the money is compounded monthly at 3%. That is,

ieff = (1 + i/12) ^12 - 1

Substituting,

ieff = (1 + 0.03/12) ^12 - 1 = 0.0304

The model to describe the growth of money after n years is therefore expressed as,

F = ($6000) x (1 + 0.0304) ^n
