2. find the present value. amount per payment: $1,000 payment at the end of each: year number of years: 8 interest rate: 6% compounded: annually

Present Value: P=?
Amount per Payment at the end of each year: A=$1,000
Number of years: n=8
Interest rate: i=6%=6/100→i=0.06
Compounded Annually

P=A{[1-(1+i)^(-n)]/i}
P=$1,000{[1-(1+0.06)^(-8)]/0.06}
P=$1,000{[1-1.06^(-8)]/0.06}
P=$1,000[(1-0.627412371)/0.06]
P=$1,000(0.372587629/0.06)
P=$1,000(6.209793811)
P=$6,209.793810
P=$6,209.79

Present Value is $6,209.79

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

Is it multiple choice
