If ruppe1000 was invested on 5% compound interest, compounded annually, when will the graph for the interest in one, two, three, four and five years be a linear graph?

Hi, We know that A = P1+r100tfor one year t =1 , r = 5 %, A = 1000×105100=1050 so interest = A - P = Rs. 50 For two year A = P1+r100tfor two year t =2 , r = 5 %, A = 1000×1+51002=1000×105100×105100=1102.5so interest = A - P = Rs. 102.5For three year A = P1+r100tfor three year t =3 , r = 5 %, A = 1000×1+51003=1000×105100×105100×105100=1157.625so interest = A - P = Rs. 157.625For four year A = P1+r100tfor  four year t =4 , r = 5 %, A = 1000×1+51004=1000×105100×105100×105100×105100=1215.506so interest = A - P = Rs. 215.506For five year A = P1+r100tfor   five year t =5 , r = 5 %, A = 1000×1+51005=1000×105100×105100×105100×105100×105100=1276.282so interest = A - P = Rs. 276.282Now plotting the graph for these years and inetrest 



Now they will not be linear as though here they look like linear but they will not be their graph will be like hyperbola or quadratic graph. This is so because simple ineterest from linear relation but not compound interest
