16. Two investors, Brent and Lincoln, invest different amounts of money at the same time for an 8-year period. Brent invests $10 000 at 6% per year and his final amount is given by the formula A= 10000(1.06). Lincoln is shrewder, and was able to invest only $8000 and end up with the same amount at the end. His final amount can be modelled using the equation A = 8000(1+i). Determine the value of i for Lincoln and the yearly interest rate his money earned to allow this to happen.
