Kristen invests $5,000 in a bank. The bank pays 6.45% interest compounded semi-annually. How much money will she have after 2 years, if she makes no additional contributions or withdrawals to the account?

 $5,676.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the compounded interest formula:  

A = P (1 + r/n) nt  

Where:  

A = Future value of investment (principal + interest)  

P = Principal Amount  

r = Nominal Interest Rate (decimal form, 6.45/100= 0.0645)  

n= number of compounding periods in each year (2)  

Replacing with the values given  

A = 5,000 (1+ 0.0645/2)^ (2x2)

A = 5,000 (1.03225)^4

A = $5,676.87

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
