A is 2p (double initial value)
p is initial value
r is .0575
m is 12
t is what we're looking for
.
A=p(1+r/m)^(mt)
2p=p(1+.0575/12)^(12t)
2=(1+.0575/12)^(12t)
2=(1.0.0047917)^(12t)
taking log base 1.0.0047917 of both sides of the equation:
log(2)/log(1.0.0047917) = 12t
log(2)/log(1.0.0047917) = 12t
145.0031 = 12 t
12.1 years = t
