1. ## A=P(1+r/n)^(n*t) Help?

I missed the class we discussed this, could someone help me with it? thanx alot.

Use the formula A = P ( 1+r/n ) ^(n*t)

A=P(1+r/n)^(n*t)
to find the amount of money in an IRA
account after 55 years if $350 is deposited into a savings account at 6.75% interest per year but compounded daily, so n=365. 2.

All you do here is pretty much "plug-n-chug":

$A=350\left(1+\frac{0.0675}{365}\right)^{365(55)}$

Use your calculator to approximate this value.

I get 14329.70.

How did you plug it into the calculator?

5. 350(1+(0.0675/365))^365(55)

Ah...be careful with this:

This is how the calculator interprets this:

$350\left(1+\frac{0.0675}{365}\right)^{365}\cdot 55$

It should be 350(1+(0.0675/365))^(365(55))
