1.06t can be written as (1.061/2)2t to give the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate based on an annual rate of 6%. Use the properties of exponents to transform the expression into a single exponent expression.

Answer:
1.06^t.


Explanation: We are given expression
1.06^t.

And
1.06^t expression is converted in
(1.06^(1/2))^(2t).

Now, we need to transform the expression into a single exponent expression using the properties of exponents.

We know, according to the properties of exponents


(a^m)^n = a^(m* n)

Applying same rule in given expression, we get


(1.06^(1/2))^(2t) = (1.06)^{(1)/(2) * 2t}

On simplifying exponents, we would get t in exponent.

=
1.06^t.
