Answer:

  14,201 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The two compound interest formulas are ...

  A = P·e^(rt) . . . . . continuous compounding at rate r for t years

  A = P·(1 +r/365)^(365t) . . . . . daily compounding at rate r for t years

We went the amounts to be equal:

  1000·e^(0.07t) = 1100·(1+0.07/365)^(365t)

Dividing by 1000(1 +0.07/365)^(365t), we have ...

  ((e^0.07)/(1+0.07/365)^365)^t = 1.1

The base of the exponential on the left is ...

 ( e^0.07)/(1+0.07/365)^365 ≈ 1.00000671149321522

Taking logs, we have ...

  t×ln(1.00000671149321522) = ln(1.1)

  t = ln(1.1)/ln(1.00000671149321522) ≈ 0.09531018/(6.7114704·10^-6)

  t ≈ 14,201.09 . . . . . years

It will take about 14,201 years for the investments to be equal.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The investment value at that time will be about $5.269·10^434. (That's a larger number than <em>anything</em> countable in the known universe, including energy quanta.)

These calculations are beyond the ability of many calculators, so might need to be carefully rewritten if the calculator only keeps 10 significant digits, or only manages exponents less than 100.

This shows that daily compounding is very close in effect to continuous compounding. It would take almost 150 years to make a difference of 0.1% in value.

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided graph.
AlekseyPX

The solutions to the system of equations are (-2,-6) and (4,6)

<h3>How to determine the system of equations?</h3>

We have:

-2x + y = -2

y = -\frac12x^2 + 3x + 2

Next, we plot the graph of both functions.

From the attached graph, the equations intersect at (-2,-6) and (4,6)

Hence, the solutions to the system of equations are (-2,-6) and (4,6)
