\n" ); document.write( "In a year with 7% annual interest, the value of an investment grows by a factor of 1+.07 = 1.07.

\n" ); document.write( "In t years the value grows by a factor of (1.07)^t.

\n" ); document.write( "You want the value of initial amount x to be $23,000 after 6 years:

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%281.07%29%5E6+=+23000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+23000%2F%281.07%29%5E6\"
