Hey there. it's been a while since i've looked over this stuff, soin cases like these, i like to take a pre-existing equation andtweek it to work for my needs. for this specific question, you canuse the compound interest formula:
A = P ( 1 + r n ) n t , where A=account balance, P=initial principal, r=interest rate, n=number of times compounded per year,and t=time (years).
now it's just a matter of putting in the information given to youin the problem, and changing the labels of the variables to reflectwhat was asked of you. so, A=N, P=7.9, r=.1, n=1, and t=t.that gives:
N = 7.9 ( 1.1 ) t
for part b, you plug in the respective elapsed time (t=6 for 2010 and t=-4 for 2000) and work it out. you should get 14.0 million(for 2006) and 5.4 million (for 2000).
