The Compound Interest Equation
P = C (1 + r/n) nt
where
P = future value
C = initial deposit
r = interest rate (expressed as a fraction: eg. 0.06)
n = # of times per year interest is compounded
t = number of years invested
Simplified Compound Interest Equation
When interest is only compounded once per year (n=1), the equation
simplifies to:
P = C (1 + r) t
Polygon Formulas
(N = # of sides and S = length from center to a corner)
Area of a regular polygon = (1/2) N sin(360°/N) S2
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (N - 2) x 180°
The number of diagonals in a polygon = 1/2 N(N-3)
The number of triangles (when you draw all the diagonals from one vertex)
in a polygon = (N - 2)
