NEED HELP ON ALGEBRA! will fan and medal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So here's the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Hero :) @nincompoop :) @whpalmer4 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@.Sam.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I'm not quite sure how you're supposed to put in the answer, since before the answer box they have A =, but we can still work it out together :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@.Sam.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, I'm back! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, so do you know Newton's 3rd law? For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Awesome! That's kind of what we have to do here, except using math. So if we add on one side, what will we do to get that addition to the other side of the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rationalize? I dont know :(

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

"\(\bf opposite\) and equal reaction"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whaaaaat?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help me :( @sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

What is the opposite of addition?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtraction?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now, for this equation, we want to isolate \(p*i\), so to do that, we need to do what to the part that is being \(\bf divided\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bf?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not common to these terms.. sorry

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Opposite of division?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I feel like I'm not making much sense :/

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

@whpalmer4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are making sense, just narrow down and use simple words so I can understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

English's not my mother tongue, so please forgive me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess you there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nincompoop

OpenStudy (zpupster):

\[1-\frac{ 1 }{ (1+i)^n}\] lets look at just the denominator first now lets get a common denominator the first term 1 is just \[\frac{ (1+i)^n }{ (1+i)^n }\] so together \[\frac{ (1+i)^n }{ (1+i)^n }-\frac{ 1 }{ (1+i)^n}\] or \[\frac{ (1+i)^n -1 }{ (1+i)^n }\] now when you multiply p*i by \[(1+i)^n \] in the denominator it cancels and we are left with \[A= \frac{ (p*i)(1+i)^n }{ (1+i)^n -1}\]

OpenStudy (sepeario):

lol i thought it meant pi as in the number pi :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha nah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 @nincompoop Hey guys help me to close this question :)

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@sleepyjess the A in the front is just the label it is what you are finding

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@MapuwanEstudent where are you stuck? @zpupster did the problem above. (I did not verify)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not sure its the correct answer...
