i only need help doing #3 @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A(t) = 39,145[(1+ 0.03/12)1/4]^(4)(12)(-45.5) what i have so far

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the pic doesn't match the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo im completely wrong lol just start over then?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did you post the wrong pic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i did....

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you meant to say this right? \[\Large A = P\left[ \left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{c}} \right]^{cnt}\] \[\Large A = 39145\left[ \left(1+\frac{0.03}{12}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}} \right]^{4*12*t}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and for t i had -45.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

t is time in years how is time negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk but my teacher said that answer was right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my biggest prob is solving 1.00025^1/4 because i dont have a calculator

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

he said that a negative time value is possible?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how strange

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh nvm I didn't read #2 fully lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you can use this free online calculator http://web2.0calc.com/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you want to evaluate 1.00025^(1/4), make sure you type that in and hit the equal sign don't forget the parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what im not doing right

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm guessing #3 wants you to solve for r?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

solve this for r maybe? \[\Large 1+\frac{r}{n} = P\left[ \left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{c}} \right]^{cnt}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm not 100% sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a(t)=39,145[(1+\frac{ .003 }{ 12 })^{(1/4)}]\] ^(4)(12)(-45.5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

39,145[(1.00025)^1/4]^(-2184) -39,145=1^-2184 -39,145=1 39,145

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did i go wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which variable are you trying to solve for?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or you're just trying to evaluate 39,145[(1.00025)^1/4]^(-2184) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess just evaluate that cause the question asks to solve for the adjusted intrest rate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel like my equations right and i dont know why im getting it wrong ):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm stuck on the fact that they bring in c = 4, but the 'c' terms cancel (when they divide). This problem is just odd. Hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its making me mad cause i know im doing it right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there any logs in here?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this is what I get http://web2.0calc.com/#39145((1.00025)^(1/4))^(-2184)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there any logs in here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats whatt i got to

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there's the log button at the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UsukiDoll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UsukiDoll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean to solve this problem

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

sorry I don't know how this works.
