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>

Can someone please check this I'm not sure if it's y=126 or is the 126 negative
timurjin [86]
So to solve for y, subtract 108 from each side.
The equation becomes -y=126

Since you don't want y to be negative then divide each side by -1 this will flip all of the signs (positives become negative and vice versa) without changing the number.

So the equation is now y= -126
