First you need to know the continuous compounding formula and it is A=Pe^rt
A=ammount
p=principle
e=continuous button on calculator
r=rate
t=time
then plug in what you know
A=7000e^(.08)(2)
then plug into a calculator and make sure to use enough parenthesis
A=(7000e^(.08)(2))
the final answer should be
$15166.02
the next part of the problem is asking for time so you put in what you got for A and use the new information
15166.02=400e^(.03)(t)
first devide both sides by 400
37.91505=e^.03t
37.91505=1.03045t
t=36.8 years
