Question 70513
Maya has deposited $600 in an account that pays 5.64% interest, compounded continuously. How long will it take for her money to double?
--------
A(t)=600e^(0.0564t)
You want A(t) to equal 1200
1200=600e^(0.0564t)
divide both sides by 600 to get:
2=e^(0.0564t)
Take the natural log of both sides to get:
ln2=0.0564t
Divide both sides by 0.0564 to get:
t=12.289..yrs.
