2000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 7 percent per year, compounded continuously. Meanwhile, 46000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 5 percent compounded annually.
To the nearest year, When will the two accounts have the same balance?
----------
Equation:
2000*e^(0.07t) = 46000(1.05)^t
--------
23 = e^(0.07t)/(1.05)^t
--------
2e = [e^0.07/1.05]^t
-----
t = ln(2e)/ln[e^0.07/1.05]
----
t = 1.69/0.0212
t = 80 years when rounded up
