#2. $800 at 2% compounded continuously for 8 years

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You need the formula
A = Pe^(rt)
A = final amount
P = principal or original amount
r = rate of interest per year
t = time (in years)
================================
I will set up both equations and let you do the math.
If you cannot, then write back.
#1.$480 at 10% compounded quarterly for 5 years
A = 480e^(0.10)(5)...Solve for A
================================================
#2. $800 at 2% compounded continuously for 8 years
A = 800e^(0.02)(8)...Solve for A
=================================================
Can you take it from here?
