Answer:

This is an example of growth because every year, the account earns 2.75% interest.  

To solve this problem I will use the general formula for compound interest.  

A = 5,000(1 + 0.0275/1)^10

A = 5,000(1.312)  

A = $6558  

After ten years, the savings account would have a balance of $6558 due to the 2.75% annual interest.
