Question 123659: Please help,The formula for calculating the amount of money?
The formula for calculating the amount of money returned for an initial deposit into a bank account or CD (certificate of deposit) is given by
A=P(1+r/n)^nt
A is the amount of the return.
P is the principal amount initially deposited.
r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal).
n is the number of compound periods in one year.
t is the number of years.
Carry all calculations to six decimals on each intermediate step, then round the final answer to the nearest cent.
Suppose you deposit $2,000 for 5 years at a rate of 8%.
a) Calculate the return (A) if the bank compounds annually (n = 1). Round your answer to the hundredth's place.
Answer:
Show work in this space.

Question 132076: Hi! Could you please answer my question:
The sum of the lengths of the two legs of a right angle triangle is 14cm. Find the length of the shortest hypotenuse.
I started off by trying the equations [ a+b=14 and a^2+b^2=c^2 ]
then I substituted into [ c^2=(14-b)(14-b)+b^2 ] and solved, but I don't think I did it right... I got b=7, and therefore a=7... could you double check and show me the steps to get the answer?!?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
