Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Compare the proposed function to the context parameters.
2. Identify whether rate, starting value, operation type, or domain is wrong.
3. Write a corrected model.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Correction that fixes algebra but not context mismatch.
