What's the difference between the two compound interest formulas?
Q. Hi, I've read about two different compound interest formulas. One of them is described as the "continuous" compound formula. It said that it is used when something compounds immeasurably often, however an example was given using a bank account. Both formulas seem to be able to be used for bank interest problems. The continuous compound formula seems easier to use and uses the natural (e) base. There must be a difference between the two formulas?

A. It depends on whether the problem states that there is discrete compounding or continuous compounding. For example, if they say the interests compounds quarterly, you use the first formula with n = 4 periods per year. The continuous compounding is just the limiting case of discrete compounding. If you were to determine the limit as n goes to infinity, you'd end up with the continuous compounding formula. You use it when the problem states that it requires continous compounding.

Are cement compound levelers or cement backerboards appropriate to use on a second floor?
Q. I live in a split level, whereas my kitchen is on the top floor (above the laundry room). We are considering laying down tile, but there is a depression in the center of the kitchen. Is the cement leveling compound the way to go or should those products only be used on ground floors.

A. Certainly these products are suitable for a second floor, but make sure your kitchen floor is properly supported. I suggest you first determine why it sags in the middle. It could be that you have a damaged joist. Hopefully it might only be warped.

What happens when a compound gains an electron?
Q. What happens when a compound, such as O2, gains an electron? I know it becomes negatively charged but which oxygen atom would this new electron attach to?
Asked by Dude - Tue Sep 9 17:37:48 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. think of electrons as a density instead of as a point... the electron density around the two atoms increases.
