Chan deposited money into his retirement account that is compounded annually at an interest rate of 7%. chan thought the equivalent quarterly interest rate would be 2%. is chan correct? if he is, explain why. if he is not correct, state whats the equivalent quarterly interest rate is and show how you got your answer.

r = 1.7 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

I = P(1+r)^nt

assuming the principal is the same

yearly

I = (1 +.07)^1

quarterly

I = (1+ r) ^4t

lets find the quarterly interest rate if we get the same interest

(set  the equations equal)

(1 +.07)^1= (1+ r) ^4

simplify

1.07 = (1+r) ^4

take the 4th root on each side

(1.07) ^ (1/4) = (1+r) ^ 4 ^ (1/4)

1.017058525 = 1+r/4

subtract 1

.017058525 = r

multiply by 100

r = 1.7 percent

answer: a and c are correct

step-by-step explanation:

the +5 is the vertical translation

the added negative symbol in front is the reflection over the y-axis
