Suppose that in the last 5 years the interest rate was $x$, then in the first 5 years it was $x+\frac{1}{2}$. At the end of the fifth year, the compounded capital

$$
C=10000\left(1+\frac{x+\frac{1}{2}}{100}\right)^{5}
$$

became, by the end of the 10th year:

$$
C\left(1+\frac{x}{100}\right)^{5}=10000\left(1+\frac{x+\frac{1}{2}}{100}\right)^{5}\left(1+\frac{x}{100}\right)^{5}=17800
$$

From this,

$$
\left(1+\frac{x+\frac{1}{2}}{100}\right)\left(1+\frac{x}{100}\right)=\sqrt[5]{1.78}=1.12223
$$

and thus

$$
x=5.685 \%
$$

10000 korona increased to 17800 korona over 10 years with compound interest. What is the interest rate if the rate for the first 5 years was $\frac{1}{2}$ higher than for the last 5 years.
