74). Find the present value of $45,000 if interest is 3.6% compounded monthly for 1 year.

The formula for compound interest is:

P is the principal (45,000), r is the rate (0.036), n is the number of times compounded (12), and t is the number of years (1). Plugging in these values, you can solve:

72). Write each expression as a single logarithm with coefficient Assume all variables represent positive real numbers.

If the logs have the same base, then an addition will end up as a multiplication inside the log:

Any subtraction will end up as division:
