Question 150719: hi
i am studying for my final and i would like to know something. this is the task:
tamika invests $3000 in a 5-yr cd that pays 5.35% interest compounded monthly. how much will she have in the acc. at the end of the 5 yr period?
I used the formula A=P(1+r/n)nt
so I got A = 3000(1+0.535/12)60 (that is an exponent)
now, i first divided 0.535 by 12 and then +1 so I get 1.044583333... and i took that by 60 exponential. I get 13.69574101
on the answer sheet it is written like this:
A=3000(1+0.535/12)60
3000(1.305916985) = 3917.75
how do i get the 1.3059...etc? how do i calculate the braces with the 60 exponential part? what i did was calculating the braces first and then take it exponential 60.

Question 150689: y= M + A/N + A
A = any coefficient
M = degree of the numerator
N = degree of the denominator
If M = N, the horizontal asymptote is the ratio of its coefficient
So, what if M < N and M > N, how do you find the horizontal asymptote?

Question 150883: I don't know if you have that textbook, but if so you may be able to help me. in section 8.1 example 4 and 8 there are examples where the number suddenly changes into i. i ll write it down in case you don/t have the book.
the example 4:
(2x-5)2 = -16
2x-5 = +- square root -16
2x-5 = +- 4i
2x=5+-4i
x=5+-4i / 2
i have had the section about i in college but i don't understand the transition from root -16 to 4i. how does the i come into play?
8.1 example 8 is also sth with i, if you have the book it would be great if you could explain that to me as well.
