Mathematics
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

t=19.25\ years

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

A=P(e)^{rt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

t=?\ years\\P=x\\r=3.6\%=3.6/100=0.036\\A=2x  

substitute in the formula above

2x=x(e)^{0.036t}  

solve for t

simplify

2=(e)^{0.036t}  

Apply ln both sides

ln(2)=ln[(e)^{0.036t}]

Applying property of exponents

ln(2)=[0.036t]ln(e)

Remember that ln(e) =1

ln(2)=[0.036t]

t=ln(2)/[0.036]

t=19.25\ years
