$6–1$ Interest rate fundamentals:
The real rate of return Carl Foster,atrainee at an investment banking firm,
is trying to get an idea of what real rate of return investors are expecting in today’s marketplace.
He has looked up the rate paid on $3-$month U.S.Treasury bills and found it to be $5.5\%$ .
Hehasdecidedtousethe rate of change in the Consumer Price Index as a proxy for the inflationary expectations of investors.
That annualized rate now stands at $3\%$.
On the basis of the information that Carl has collected,
what estimate can he make of the real rate of return?

$\text{$k^∗$=real rate of interest}\\$
$\text{$P^∗$=inflation preminum}\\$
$\text{$RP^∗$=risk premimum}\\$
$$K_1=k^∗ +IP $$

ok this is probably simple
but the wording is ?

ok i realize it would be hard to answer this w\o the text
so here is the link its chp 6 problems

Can't get to your link...

However, your symbols are kinda strange:
can you clarify each of them...thank you.

Here's a site that may help you out:

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
