Question 450449: Find the formula for the inverse
f(x)=x+5 f^-1=
I don't understand why the smaller a problem is, the more steps there are in solving it and the increase in frustration because I'm not able to solve it ;> Thanks.

Question 445137: The question is: The amount of money A accrued at the end of t years when a certain amount, P, is invested at an annual rate r compounded n times per year is given by: A=P(1+r/n)^nt. How long will it take for $450 at 5% interest compounded monthly to reach $1000? (Write your answer to two decimal places.)
I've set the problem up like this:
1000=450(1+.05/12)^12(t)
1000=450(1+0.00417)^12(t)
1000=450(1.00417)^12(t)
1000=450(1.0512)^t
1000=473.04^t
And that's where I'm stuck. Assuming my math to that point is accurate (and if it's not, could you please help?), how do I go about the problem from this point? How do I get t to no longer be an exponent and move on to get the time?
Thank you!
