Let:<span>
 
P be the initial amount of money called the Principal, 

compounded n times a year, with an r annual interest rate, then after 
<span>
t </span>many years, the amount of money A is given by the formula:


A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}


Remark
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

r is generally a percentage like 3%, 7% etc and are applied in the formula as 0.03, 0.07..., 

the interest is compounded generally annually (n=1), quarterly (n=4), monthly (n=12), etc...

t is in years,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus, in our problem, P=$2,000, r=6.2%=0.062, n=4, t=5

Applying the formula:


A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A=2,000* (1+ \frac{0.062}{4}&#10;)^{4*5}=2,000(1.0155)^{20}

=2,000*1.3602=2720.4


2720.4-2000=720.4 ($)</span>


Answer: 

<span>c.
$720.37</span>

Urgent question in Mathematics. Solve this to get 15 points
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 2^4 - 2^3 = 16 - 8 = 8 = 2^3

In a similar way 2^6 - 2^5 = 64 - 32 = 32 = 2^5.

So 2^99 - 2^98 = 2^98 ,  2^98 - 2^97 = 2^97 ,  2^97 - 2^96 = 2^96 and so on.

Therefore when we come to the last 2 terms we have 2^1 - 2^0 = 2 - 1

= 1 , so the answer is 1.
