    yes, i have students that watch these outside of class; it is the reason i started posting all of these videos in the first place.
    i wanted to my students to be able to go home and have a resource for when they are actually doing the problems

    Love the comments at the end. Couldn't agree with you more. My love for mathematics has come to me at 50 years old and it's because of videos like yours. RUclips has enabled me to find teachers such as yourself who have the ability to teach and explain through the beauty of simplification. Thanks!

    You forgot to mention an extremely easier way to do compound interest.
    If you have $10,000
    At 6% compound interest
    For 5 years
    You can do -
    10,000 x 1.06 (to the power of 'years' in this case 5)
    So 10,000 x 1.06 (to the power 5)
    = $13,382

    • @danzell2
      @danzell2 8 лет назад +2

      +AlchemarTwitch you cant do that mate because you have to take into account that the number changes year to year hense why you have to recalculate each compound individually....

    • @shayanabdallah1372
      @shayanabdallah1372 7 лет назад +4

      how did you get 1.06

    • @prodcee1
      @prodcee1 7 лет назад +9

      shayan abdallah you change 6% into a decimal which becomes 0.06 then you add it to the 100% which equals 1 so 1+0.06=1.06

    They actually do teach this in elementary school now. However I don't remember learning this in school so I found it very helpful to not only help kids do their school work but also for me to be able to understand financial terms better. So much appreciated from many generations who have not been able to pass down financial wisdom to their kids. Thanks again I am subscribing in hopes to learn more.

  • @Exiburz
    @Exiburz 10 лет назад

    Thanks for this, turns out this is actually really simple. I suck at reading through my textbook and taking in information from it, so it is so much easier when someone can explain it to me through spoken words. They seem to stick a lot more, and now my textbook makes complete sense

I am hoping to become a teacher although something tells me Social Sciences or English would be a problem to do over RUclips LOL.
    Thanks again. Excellent and useful.

    ok what im wondering is lets say i start saving money now and i put 30 dollars in a savings account and slowly add money to it unil I reach 1000 dollars till the end of the year will the interest be calculated upon the initial (principal) 30 dollars or will i get an interest of the 1000 dollars? what if I have 0 dollars in the savings account for the whole year but put in 5000 dollars on the 31th of December?

    @jackwebster400 9 лет назад

    Just a quick tip. I am not sure if all calculators have this. But some do, a simple way to do the compound equation is to do 1.06^5 (to the power of 5) x 10,000. This will give you the same answer Patrick got in the end. Just in case anyone was wondering. Thanks for the video though, it helped.

I was ok with maths back in High School, but math is something I have to do everyday in order to remember the formulas. Honestly I need to redo everything. Your vids help alot, but a swift reply would embolden me to make an immediate purchase! thanks

  • @pablopicado9545
    @pablopicado9545 10 лет назад +1

    Simple: Original deposit + (original deposit * interest * time) = 10,000 + (10,000 * 0.06 * 5 years) = 13,000
    Compound : Original deposit *( 1 + interest) ^ time = 10,000 * (1.06) ^ 5 years = 13,382.26
    Here are the equations simplified. You just substitute in the values and you're good to go. Also the ^ symbol meant "raised to the power of..." meaning it's an exponent and the * symbol means "times by" so multiplication. If it's not annually then the equation won't work; it will need to be modified to work with weeks, months, etc.... Hope this helps even more
