Mr. Goodwin received a paycheck for $1200. He deposited the money into a
bank account. The account has an interest rate of 6% compounded
continuously. This is the first and last deposit Mr. Goodwin makes into this
account. How much money will be in the account in 15 years?

There will be $2951.52 money in the account in 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Principal ; P = $1200

Interest rate;r  = 6% compounded continuously

Time; t  = 15 years

As we know the compounded continuously formula is given by

where A is amount , P is principal , r is rate, t is time and e be the mathematical constant.

So according to question we have

Hence, there will be $2951.52 money in the account in 15 years

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
