I need help with a math problem. It says How much money will there be in an account at the end of 10 years if 3000 dollars is deposited at 6 percent interest. It wants to know annunally, semi-annually, quarterly, and daily.

Here is the annual amount

A = 3000(1 + .06)^10 = 3000(1.06)^10 =   ???

Here is the semi-annual amt

A = 3000(1 + .06/2)^(10*2)  = 3000(1.03)^(20)  =  ???

Quarterly

A = 3000(1 + .06/4)^(10*4) = 3000(1 + .015)^(40) = 3000(1.015)^(40)  = ???

Daily

A= 3000(1 + .06/365)^(10*365)  = 3000(1 + .06/365)^(3650)  = ???

I'll let  you evaluate the amounrs for yourself.......make sure to do the things in the parentheses, first......then the exponent on that.....then....multiply by 3000
