6.1 Exercise 71

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use the compound interest formula, A(t)=P ( 1+ r n ) nt . A \left(t\right) = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t} .

Use the formula found in the previous exercise to calculate the interest rate for an account that was compounded semi-annually, had an initial deposit of $9,000 and was worth $13,373.53 after 10 years.
