The value of a particular investment follows a pattern of exponential growth. In the year 2000, you invested money in a money market account. The value of your investment t years after 2000 is given by the exponential growth model A=2600e^0.045t When will the account be worth $3898?

----- Substituting 3,898 for A
------- Converting to LOGARITHMIC (Natural) form

9 years after 2000, or the year 2009 (2000 + 9), the investment will be/was worth $3,898.
