formula is A=P(1-\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where A=final amount

P=principal

r=interest rate in decimal

n=number of times per year it is compounded

t=time in years


we want to find where

A=2P

and P=5745

and r=6.5%=0.065

n=monthly=12


remember that ln(x^a)=a(ln(x))

also that (a^b)^c=a^{bc}

2(5745)=5745(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t}, solving for t

divide both sides by 5745 to simplify things a bit

2=(1+\frac{0.065}{12})^{12t} I'd rather not simplify this because it give us a decimals and those aren't exact, if we combine, we get 12.065/12 for inside parenthases

2=(\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t}

take ln of both sides

ln(2)=ln((\frac{12.065}{12})^{12t})

ln(2)=(12t)ln(\frac{12.065}{12})

divide both sides by 12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})

\frac{ln(2)}{12ln(\frac{12.065}{12})}=t

using our calculator, t≈10.6927


so rounded, we get 10.7 years
