<PRE><B>Question 177106</B>
the polynomial P (1+ represents the value of the investment after 1 year. Rewrite this expression without parentheses. Evaluate the polynomial if
P = $200 and r =10%.

------------------
A(t) = P(1+ (r/2))^(2t)
A(1) = 200(1 + (0.1/2))^(2*1)
A(1) = 200(1+0.05)^2
A(1) = 200*1.01025
A(1) = $220.50 (value after one year compounded semiannually)
