. Find the value of $1,300 invested at 4.2% interest compounded continuously for 5 years, 9 months. Round your final answer to t
1 answer:
The formula we use for continuous compounding is 
where P is the initial amount invested, r is the rate as a decimal, and t is time in years. Our P = 1300, our r = .042, and our t = 5.75 (9 months is 3/4 of a year, and 3/4 in a decimal is .75). Putting all that into our formula we have 
. We have to multiply those 2 powers together and then raise euler's number to it, then multiply by 1300. Doing all of that, we get the amount at the end to be $1,655.10

Keep in mind that, the directrix is "p" distance units away from the vertex, and the focus point is also "p" distance units from the vertex but in the opposite direction, so in short the vertex is half-way between both of them.
in this case the vertex is at the origin, and the directrix 5 units above it, so that means the parabola is vertical and opening downwards, like the one in the picture below, and the focus point is 5 units the other way.
