1. The problem is to evaluate the expression $2000(1.10)^{0.5}$. 2. The expression involves multiplying 2000 by the square root of 1.10, since raising to the power 0.5 is equivalent to taking the square root. 3. Recall the rule: $a^{0.5} = \sqrt{a}$. 4. Calculate the square root: $$\sqrt{1.10} \approx 1.0488$$ 5. Multiply by 2000: $$2000 \times 1.0488 = 2097.6$$ 6. Therefore, the value of $2000(1.10)^{0.5}$ is approximately 2097.6.
