For the first one: we need to use compound interest \[P(1+\frac{ r }{ n})^{nt}\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

I greatly appreciate that thank you very much!

OpenStudy (photon336):

yep. just remember n is the number of times it's compounded yearly. so we also need to multiply that by the number of years that have gone by that's why we get n*t so quarterly means it's compounded 4 times a year \[\frac{ r }{ n } = \frac{ 0.08 }{ 4 }\] what about the rest?

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[1,000*(1+\frac{ 0.08 }{ 4 })^{4*2} = $1172\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

@PixieDust1 can you set up the second one for me? it's also compound interest

OpenStudy (photon336):

be careful how you put it into the calculator

OpenStudy (photon336):

nice set up. hey you can do what's in the ( ) first

OpenStudy (photon336):

3,128.62

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah you are correct. you know what to do now! good job

OpenStudy (photon336):

no problem :)
