jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know how many is e ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no what u see is what i have.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

e is the Euler number and has a value of 2,71... have you learned it this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No someone has said that to me & i asked my instructor & he said that was wrong for what i'm doing.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok but this formula what you have wrote there is sure right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so. It says Continuous Compound Interest.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok so for you can calcule from this formula the r so for this you need us the logarithm natural with hope that you know has base of e yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so there are A=Pe^(rt) yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so do you know or do you have idea for how we can calcule this r using my opinion with logarithm natural ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really. Whats logarithm natural?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesterday i asked a Q like this. http://openstudy.com/users/joyce153#/updates/508c2585e4b0d596c46114f3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got was wrong. the answer was supposed to be 6.979%

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so there are A=Pe^(rt) make ln on both sides and will get so but firstly divide both sides by P and will get A --- = e^(rt) so ok ? and now us ln on both sides and will get P ln(A/P)=lne^(rt) but hope os much that you know the property of logarithms and so you know that lne^(rt) =(rt)lne so these is ok ,do you understand it sure so i will continue it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

tel me please so can i continue it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm trying to work it out so to see if i understand.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok let's go wait it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so you dont like write it here ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i think i'm understanding. what next?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok but i like see it how you make the calcules ,ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

you dont like continue it here ? please ...

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

(rt)lne= ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ln(A/P) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i'm using this one to make sure this is right cause i got it wrong yesterday so i know what the answer is supposed to be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm setting it up like this. \[\ln \frac{ 17,177 }{ 11300 }=\ln e ^{(72t)}\] Is this right?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

on the exponent of e why you have wrote there 72t ? or i see it wrong ? there is 72r ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so because you know the t=72 ,or not ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh that's supposed to be r

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes need being 72r and can you continue it now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what to do next.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why this is very simple using property of logarithms ln(A/P) =(rt)lne do you understand it why ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so because loga (b)^x =xloga(b) this is property of logarithms ,yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so and hopw so much that do you know again sure that loga (a)=1 logarithm base a of a equale 1 yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok ? do you understand it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry not at all.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok what not ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of it. it sounds nothing like what i've been doing.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

why ? how you want to solve it ? write it here please now and we will can clarifie it hope so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesterday i asked a Q like this. http://openstudy.com/users/joyce153#/updates/508c2585e4b0d596c46114f3 The answer I got there was wrong. the answer was supposed to be 6.979% if u can explain how to get 6.979% as the answer then that will help.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this question was exactls like this asked here now ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok i understand it so this was answered to you exactly how i have wrote firstly here above for you with difference that there not have wrote step by step there you have got the final answer ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i keep trying to calculate that but i'm not getting 6.979% as the answer.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so we have got there above ln(A/P)=(rt)lne ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when u do it r u getting 6.979% ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so moment how you calcule from this r ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

wait ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know it how ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ln(A/P/t)=r so can you tell me why ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i'm just gunna guess cause it's due in like 2 min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol THX for the help!

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so if you puch the needed numbers will get sure the right answer ok ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

was my pleasure and hope so much that you have understood it all right sure

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

good luck bye
