Determine when, to the nearest year, $1,000 invested at 5% per year, compounded daily, will be worth $10,000
-------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(n*t)
-----------------------------
10,000 = 1000(1+0.05/365))^(365t)
----------------------------------
10 = 1.000136986^(365t)
--------------------------
365t = log(10)/log(1.000136986) = 1/0.000059488 = 16810.11
-----
t (to the nearest year) = 46 years
------------
