The expansion of a perfect square is

In words, the square of a sum of two terms is the sum of the squares of the two terms (
and
), plus twice the product of the two terms (
)
So, when determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, you should have two perfect squares. Note that they don't have to be the first and third term, since you can rearrange terms as you prefer.
Here is the formula that your going to need to use A=P(1+r/n)^nt
So P=500, R=0.082, N=1, T=15
Plug it into your equation and you have A=500(1+0.082/1)^(1)(15)
Simplify what's in the parenthesis A=500(1.082)^(1)(15)
Multiply your exponents A=500(1.082)^15 Then A=500(3.26)
Finally you multiply your last two numbers to get A=1,630
So after 15 years you would have $1,630
I hope this helped you :)
