Answer

$y=6200(1.007)^{12t}$.

Work Step by Step

The given values are Initial amount $P=\$6200$. Rate of interest $r=8.4\%=0.084$. Number of time interest is compounded per year. $n=12$. Formula for the compound interest $\Rightarrow y=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ Substitute all the values. $\Rightarrow y=6200(1+\frac{0.084}{12})^{12t}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=6200(1+0.007)^{12t}$ $\Rightarrow y=6200(1.007)^{12t}$.
