help number 9
wrong one
number 10
So i may be wrong, but to solve this you need to take 8000 and add 9%. Correct?
Do you have a calculator to do that?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @sophia333 Do you have a calculator to do that? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes but I think that's wrong but I'm not sure
@az
Wait wait im trying to help you here
So 8000 + 9% is 8720. Now multiply that by 2.
What do ya think the answer is?
16018
No, try again.
17440
@az
Correct
@AZ tell me if im wrong >:C
This is a compound interest question so the formula is \(\Large A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}\) we have this new variable called `n` which is how many times the interest is applied in a year In this question, we say semi-annually so that means n = 2
ok
yea im wrong >:c
so he's borrowing 8,000 this is our P at 9%- our r (make sure to change it to a decimal) and t = 2
.09
@az am i right
So let's plug in all the numbers into the formula, okay?
\(\Large A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}\) \(\Large A = 8000(1 + \frac{0.09}{2})^{(2~\cdot~2)}\) So let's take care of the exponent first, what is 2 *2 =
4
Now we have \(\Large A = 8000(1 + \frac{0.09}{2})^{4}\) Let's do the fraction What is 0.09 / 2 =
0.45
check that again, you're missing a 0
.045
now add 1 to it
1.045
now what is (1.045) ^ 4
1.192
So so far, we went from \(\Large A = 8000(1 + \frac{0.09}{2})^{(2~\cdot~2)}\) to \(\Large A = 8000(1.045)^{4}\)
Now just multiply by 8000 and that's your final answer!
9536
And that's your answer!

You're most welcome!
the second one is the diagram I have to use
Let's ask the new question in another post :)
