  • Suck it Harvard! :D

  • In the comments: To. Much. Arguing. Its an "introduction to interest" -- math. Please, don't pull in religion. If you want to argue about religion, go to a religious based video. If you want to argue about math, stay here. But for goodness sakes, dont mix the two! There is a time and a place -- it is not here, not now.

  • @NoughNeaux Each year you pay 10% of interest on the NEW balance. So in year one you owe $100 + 10% which is $100 * 1.1 = $110 (since you owe the principal loan and interest). The reason he squares 1.1 is because he is trying to shorten the expression. For instance, in year 4 you would owe...$100 x 1.1 x1.1 x1.1 x1.1 = $146. But instead you can shorten that expression to $100 (1.1) to the power of 4. Since there are four 1.1's

  • 7:40 - Why do you square "(1.1)" ?

  • @MrDevin666 1.1 is the same as 110% but in decimal form.

  • @iNinjaNotes Yeah thanks for the reply, but I got it. He said that you undistribute the 110, which made no sense, he meant factor out 110.

  • @MrDevin666 1.1 is the same as 10% interest rate on top of your initial investment which is 100%, 110% is equal to 1.1.

  • This stuff is simple, BUT I have one question to ask for an answer. At 7:41 he changed it from 110 + 10%(110) to 110(1.1), where does that 1.1 come from?

  • OMFG ... we spend like 2x1hour lectrue on this.

    and did not make any sense at all.

    yet you spend 10mins and I totally got it...

  • lol we've learned this in 8th grade honors
