[tex]~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$4570\\ r=rate\to 4.5\%\to \frac{4.5}{100}\dotfill &0.045\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=4570\left(1+\frac{0.045}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 5}\implies A=4570(1.045)^5\implies A\approx 5695.05[/tex]
