The "compound amount" formula is A = P(1+r/n)^(nt),
where P=original investment, r=interest rate as a decimal fraction; n=number of compounding periods, and t=number of years.
Then A = $12000 * (1+0.08/2)^(2*11)
= $12000(1.04)^(22) = $28,439.03 (answer)
Hi friend,
This is a perfect square trinomial.
It can be recognised because it is of the form:
a^2−2ab+b^2=(a−b)^2
with a=3x and b=4
9x2−24x+16=(3x)2−(2⋅(3x)⋅4)+42
=(3x−4)2
