Math Problem Statement

What is the result of the expression $1050 / (1 + 0.065/12)^3?

Solution

The image shows the mathematical expression:

1050(1+0.06512)3\frac{1050}{\left( 1 + \frac{0.065}{12} \right)^3}

This expression seems to represent a financial calculation, possibly related to compound interest or the present value of an annuity. To solve it:

  1. First, simplify the denominator: 1+0.06512=1+0.0054167=1.00541671 + \frac{0.065}{12} = 1 + 0.0054167 = 1.0054167

  2. Then raise this value to the power of 3: (1.0054167)31.0163102(1.0054167)^3 \approx 1.0163102

  3. Now divide 1050 by this value: 10501.01631021033.57\frac{1050}{1.0163102} \approx 1033.57

Thus, the result of the expression is approximately 1033.57.
