Test 8 Section 4 #23
I think the easiest way to get this one is to plug in some numbers. We know that every 4 quarters is a year, so the correct answer will be the one that gives us the same result for 1 year as 4 quarters, 2 years as 8 quarters, 3 years as 12 quarters, etc.
At 1 year, the original equation works out thusly:
Which answer choice(s) result in the same expression when q = 4? Only choice A does:
If you’re concerned that another one might also work, just check with your calculator!
Sure enough, only choice A gives you the same result after 4 quarters that the original equation gives you for 1 year.
