Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications help Please!! Keiko invested $2875 in a savings account which earns 3.15% interest compounded semiannually. What will the account be worth in 7 years? $8,003.59 $4,438.20 $3,578.11 $3,207.34 All I really need help with is the formula. I can't remember it! Can someone tell me which formula to use for this question?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use Future Value formula

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large FV = PV (1+i)^{nt}\)

Thank you!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

maybe look up ur notes for what FV/PV/i/n/t are :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

semiannually means, two times per year right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that gives \(n = 2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think so. I was actually going to ask you the same thing lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and since \(\large i = \frac{r}{n}\),.. hope u can manage the rest :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I can! Thanks!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
