Solve for r:
\n" ); document.write( "500(1+r)^20=19500
\n" ); document.write( "
\"%281+%2B+r%29%5E20+=+19500%2F500\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281+%2B+r%29%5E20+=+39\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1+%2B+r+=+39%5E%281%2F20%29\" -------- Taking the \"20%5E%28th%29\" root, or raising both sides to the \"%281%2F20%29%5E%28th%29\" power
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+39%5E%281%2F20%29+-+1\" -------- Exact value
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28r+=+0.201028%29\" -------- Approximate value\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since this appears to be a rate (r), only the positive solution is given \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
