How long does it take for an investment to quadruple in value if it is invested at 11% compounded

Mathematics

Let's assume we have $100 and an interest rate of 7%. For the $100 to quadruple it means that the future value would be $400. Thus, because we are talking about compounding daily we will set us the equation as follows:

100 * (1+1.07)x = 400

Then we will take 400 and divide it by 100 getting:

1.07X = 4

Now we have encountered a problem where we do not know exponent, so we will use logarithm to calculate such and transform our equation to: Log1.07(4)=X

Using our calculator we will find that it takes about 20.4895 days to quadruple the money invested under 7% interest rate compounded daily.

2nd: Using the same $100 but with the rate of 5.5% compounded continuously we will be using A=PERT formula

where:

P (principal) is equal to hypothetical $100

E (e) is a mathematical constant, which is approximately 2.718

R (rate) is the interest rate, in our case it is 5.5%

T (time) is the time required for money to grow

A (amount) is the final amount desired, which is 4 times larger of $100, thus $400

We have the following:

400 = 100 * e0.055t

400/100 = e0.055t

4 = e0.055t

Then we will apply natural log to both sides of the equations and get the following:

ln(4) = ln(e0.055t)

Since e is the base of ln(x) the equation simplifies to:

ln(4) = 0.055t

Using the calculator to find ln(4) we are getting:

1.38629 = 0.055t

Lastly find t

t = 1.38629/0.055

t = 25.20535202

Plug the answers back to the original equation to verify the answers.

1st part of the question answer: t = 20.4895

2nd part of the question answer: t = 25.20535202

$5,000 is invested at 3% interest. How much money must be invested at 5% interest so that the total interest from the two invest
Nataly [62]
3% interest on 5,000 = 150

275 (the total amount wanted) - 150 (from initial investment)= 125

x (5%) =125
x (0.05)= 125
x/0.05)= 125/0.05
x=2500

you need to invest 2500 at 5% to get the additional 125

125 plus 150= 275

An initial investment of $60.00 increases in value by 15% each year. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that
aivan3 [116]
The situations can be represented by the exponential function f(x)=60x1.15^x
After 7.86 years the value of the investment will be three times the initial value (If you round to the nearest dollar)
After 8 years the value of the investment will be $184.00 (If you round to the nearest dollar)

Zigmanuir [339]
X is the number:
Therefore, the equation is:
8(x-2)=3(x+3)

8x-16=3x+9
8x-3x=9+16
5x=25
x=25/5
x=5

Answer: the equation is: 8(x-2)=3(x+3), and the number is: 5
