How do I solve for r in the following problem....
(1+r)^10 = 1.34
:
Use common logs
log((l+r)^10) = log(1.34)
:
log equiv of exponents, find the log of 1.34
10*log(1+r) = .1271
log(1+r) =
log(1+r) = .01271
:
Find the of both sides
1 + r = 1.0297
r = 1.0297 - 1
r = .0297

:
Check this on your calc: enter 1.0297^10 results: 1.34
