Step-by-step explanation:

Using as instructed, our equation looks like this:

which simplifies a bit to

which simplifies a bit more to

A = 10,000(1.10517) so

A = 11,051.71  Easy. Now onto the second part: solving for the number of years it takes for the investment to double. Setting A equal to 20,000 since 20,000 is 10,000 doubled:

 Begin by dividing both sides by 10,000 to get

and take the natural log of both sides to get that exponent down out front, keeping in mind that the natural log will "undo" the e, leaving us with:

ln(2) = .05t and

t = 14 years (that's 13.8 rounded up to the nearest year)
