How long does it take for a deposit of $1400 to double at 2% compounded continuously?

34.66 yr

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest compounded continuously is

Data:

P = $1400

r = 2 % = 0.02

Calculations:

(a) Calculate A

A = 2 × 1400 = $2800

(b) Calculate t

            Divided each side by 1400

 ln2 =  0.02t               Took the ln of each side

     t = ln2/0.02          Divided each side by 0.02

     t = 34.66 yr

It will take 34.66 yr for the investment to double at 2 % interest compounded continuously.

Check:

2800 = 1400e^{0.02×34.66}

2800 = 1400e^{0.6931}

2800 = 1400 × 2

2800 = 2800

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
