  2. The Plan • Derivation of the Compound Interest Formula • A Brief Review of Logarithms • Using the Annuity Formulas • Using the TI-83/84 on Finance Problems • Derivation of the FV Formula (if time allows)

  3. Derivation of the Compound Interest Formula • For this, we go to our handout…

  4. The Plan • Derivation of the Compound Interest Formula ✓ • A Brief Review of Logarithms • Use of the Annuity Formulas • Using the TI-83/84 on Finance Problems • Derivation of the FV Formula (if time allows)

  5. A Brief Review of Logarithms “The exponent to which base b must be raised to get x is y.”

  6. The Most Useful Property of Logarithms But… WHY??!!! The exponent to which base b must be raised to get xt is exactly the same as t times the exponent to which base b must be raised to get x.

  7. A more formal “proof”…

  8. The Most Useful Property of Logarithms

  9. The Plan • Derivation of the Compound Interest Formula ✓ • A Brief Review of Logarithms ✓ • Use of the Annuity Formulas • Using the TI-83/84 on Finance Problems • Derivation of the FV Formula (if time allows)

  10. Using the Annuity Formulas • For this, we go back to our handout…

  12. Using the TI-83/84 on Finance Problems • For this, we’ll go back to the handout and check some of our work.

  13. The Plan • Derivation of the Compound Interest Formula ✓ • A Brief Review of Logarithms ✓ • Use of the Annuity Formulas ✓ • Using the TI-83/84 on Finance Problems ✓ • Derivation of the FV Formula (if time allows)

  14. Derivation of the FV Formula (if time allows) • For this, we’ll go “old-school”, starting with the “grains of wheat” problem.
