A = P(1 + rt)
A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
P = Principal Amount
I = Interest Amount
r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100
R = Rate of Interest per year as a percent; R = r * 100
t = Time Period involved in months or years
From the base formula, A = P(1 + rt) derived from A = P + I and I = Prt so A = P + I = P + Prt = P(1 + rt)
Step-by-step explanation:
an open (empty) point means the point itself is not included.
a closed (filled) point means the point itself is included.
the x values going from -3 (not included) to -1 (included) means
-3 < x <= -1
so, the second answer is correct.
