Rebecca deposited $5,338.18 into a savings account with an interest rate of 5.9% compounded twice a year. About how long will it
take for the account to be worth $10,000?

Years = log (10,000 / 5,538.18) / [2 * log ( 1 + .059 / 2)]
Years = <span> log (<span>1.8056473426) / 2 * </span></span> log ( <span><span><span>1.0295 </span> </span> </span> <span>)
Years = </span>0.25663293307 / 2 * 0.012626350954
Years = 0.25663293307 / <span> <span> <span> 0.0252527019 </span> </span> </span> <span><span> </span> </span>

Given:
To find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes:
The line x=L is a vertical asymptote of the function f(x) if the limit of the function at this point is infinite.
But, here there is no such point.
Thus, the function f(x) doesn't have a vertical asymptote.
The line y=L is a vertical asymptote of the function f(x) if the limit of the function (either left or right side) at this point is finite.
Thus, y = 0 is the horizontal asymptote for the given function.
