Question
How many years will it take to double your money with
yearly compounding if the rate of interest is 12%?Solution
The Rule of 72 is a simplified formula that calculates how long it will take for an investment to double in value (t), based on its rate of return. As per the rule: t ~ 72/rate of interest Here, using the Rule of 72, divide the rate of interest in absolute terms by 72, i.e. 72/12 = 6 years approximately To cross check, if P=100 and r =12% and n=6 A = 100*(1.12)6 = 197.38 which is approximately double the amount of the Principal.Â
Solve for x:
(2x − 1)/3 − (x − 4)/2 = 3
If √p + (1/√p) = 12, then find the value of p + (1/p).
If, ( a + b = 20 ) and ( a² + b² = 208 ), then find the value of (a³ + b³).
A company’s expenditure on three departments over four years is as follows (in thousands):
If p = 40 - q - r and pq + r(q + p) = 432, then find the value of (p² + q² + r²).
If x =7+4√3. then find the value of x +1/ x
If x = 21, then the value of x5 - 22x4 + 22x3 - 22x2 + 22x - 1 is
 `sqrt(sqrt(17+sqrt(17+sqrt(17)) ... prop)`  = ?
if √1+x/121 = 13/11 then find the value of x.
