Q:
Find out how many years it takes $7000 to triple if the money is invested at 4% compounded continuously.
A:
We find t such that
= 21000, divide both sides by 7000
= 3, get the natural logarithm of both sides
0.04t = ln(3)
t = (ln(3))/0.04 = 27.4653 years (4 decimal places) or 27.47 years (2 decimal places)
