You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the formula for finding interest using natural logs and e?
---
The formula for compounding continuously is A(t) = P*e^(rt)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What is the difference between compounding continuously and compounding anually?
---
Annual compounding is A(t)=P(1+(r/n))^(nt) where n = 1
---
The Compounding continuously formula results from taking
the limit of (1+(r/n)^(nt) as n approaces infinity.
