The answer x = -3 is correct ; not really any mistakes made but they do seem to skip a step from 8^(-1) to 2^(-3) if that is confusing you.

8 = 2^(3)
so
(8)^(-1) = (2^3)^(-1) = 2^(3*-1) = 2^(-3)

Your bank account is sitting on $14,000. You started with a principal balance of $12,500. If the interest rate was 4.5% compound

Simora [160]

Answer:

$t=2.5\ years$

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

$t=?\ years\\ P=\$12,500\\P=\$14,000\\ r=4.5\%=4.5/100=0.045$

substitute in the formula above and solve for t

$14,000=12,500(e)^{0.045t}$

Simplify

$14,000/12,500=(e)^{0.045t}$

$1.12=(e)^{0.045t}$

Apply ln both sides

$ln(1.12)=ln[(e)^{0.045t}]$

$ln(1.12)=(0.045t)ln(e)$

Remember that

$ln(e)=1$

$ln(1.12)=(0.045t)$

$t=ln(1.12)/(0.045)$

$t=2.5\ years$
