The Quadratic Equation The solutions of ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0 are given by x =
−b ± b 2 − 4ac 2a
Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) n
i AER, as a decimal, is calculated using the formula 1 + − 1 , where i is the nominal n interest rate per annum as a decimal and n is the number of compounding periods per annum.
