You can put this solution on YOUR website! A deposit of $1000 is made into a fund with an annual interest rate of 10%. Find the time(in years) necessary for the investment to double if the interest is compounded continuously.
---------------------
2000 = 1000e^(0.10*t)
2 = e^(0.10t)
Take the natural log to get:
ln2 = 0.10t
t = [ln2]/0.10
t = 6.9 years
