For a fixed rate, a fixed principal amount, and a fixed compounding cycle, the return is an exponential function of time.
________________________________________

The general formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)nt. Given the specifics of this problem (a rate of 8% (r = 0.08), a starting value of $1 (P = 1), and compounding only once per year (n = 1)), the formula that we will use is:

A = (1)(1 + ...
