a. P = $500 (initial deposit), r = 0.07 (interest rate), n = 1 (interest compounded annually)

b. The graph of t vs. A will be increasing because compound interest grows over time. As time (t) increases, the amount of money in the account (A) will also increase due to the interest earned.

c. The formula that describes the data given is:
A(t) = 500(1 + 0.07/1)^(1t)
= 500(1.07)^t
