Steve deposits $1250 in an account paying 3.4% annual interest compounded continously. how long will it take for the account balance to reach $3150.50

It will take 27.19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:

, where

∵ Steve deposits $1250 in an account

∴ P = 1250

∵ The account paying 3.4% annual interest compounded continuously

∴ r = 3.4%

- Change it to decimal by dividing it by 100

∴ r = 3.4 ÷ 100 = 0.034

∵ The account balance will reach to $3150.5

∴ A = 3150.5

- Substitute The values of A, P and r in the formula above to find t

∵

- Divide both sides by 1250

∴  

- Insert ㏑ to both sides

∴

- Remember that

∵  

∴ ln(2.5204) = 0.034t

- Divide both sides by 0.034

∴ 27.18875 = t

∴ t ≅ 27.19

It will take 27.19 years

step-by-step explanation:

asdfghkl

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
