Factoring an interest formula |
2020-09-29 |
|
From Kenneth:
Hello
P + Pr has a common factor of P so it can be expressed as P(1 + r) after the P is factored out..
How does the "P" get in front of (1 + r)?
P/P + Pr/P = 1 + r What step is used to show that P is added in front of (1 + r)?
I thank you for your reply.

I started with Euler's identity and manipulated it
e^i*pi=-1
e^-i*pi=(-1)^-1
e^-i*pi=-1
e^-i*i*pi=(-1)^i
e^--pi=(-1)^i
e^pi=(-1)^i
type it in in a calculator and you get e^pi=23.1406926... and
(-1)^i=0.0432139183... What did I do wrong?

I am doing an investigation about a game called triminoes (like dominoes). The game is played using triangular pieces of card. Each card has 3 numbers on it.

no. of trimino cards 1 4 10 20 35 I was ginen the formula for this which is:
UN= UN - 1 + 1/2 (n + 1 ) (n+2) UN=no. of trimino cards n= largest no. I don't know how to get to this equation I think it has something to do with triangle numbers!
