First, a note To compute a particular type of sum (a “geometric sum”), where the terms are powers of some number, such as: The total is simply given by
Future Value formula Why? Results from determining the geometric sum.
Examples for Future Value Mat 112
Calculate carefully! PMT = $104.31 (or round up to $104.32 to be safe)
Solving for n? Mat 112
Or simply, Using the Log…
Not Another Formula? Although the text offers this result as a new formula and we could memorize It seems more reasonable to just solve this exponential equation in the usual way.
