Answer:

  11 years, 7 months

Step-by-step explanation:

When the investment reaches its desired value, it will be 3 times the original amount. So, we are looking for the number of half-month periods (n) of compounding such that ...

  (1 +0.095/24)^n = 3

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  n·log(1.003958333...) = log(3)

  n = log(3)/log(1.009358333...) ≈ 278.09

This is 278.09/24 ≈ 11.59 years.

It will take about 11 years and 7 months for the investment to reach the desired value.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The amount will be about tzs 2,758 short after 11 years 7 months. It will exceed the desired amount after 2 more days' interest is added.

Because the coefficient of x^2 is -1, we know that a will be -1.  Knowing that the coefficient of x is -4, we can calculate that p=2.  Thus, we have -1(x+2)^2+q is our equation.  This is equal to -x^2-4x-4+q.  As the constant term must be 2, we can then see that q is 6.

As such, we have -1(x+2)^2+6=0 as our factorization.

To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula.  Plugging in values, we have:

\frac{4+-2 \sqrt{6} }{-2}
which is equal to: (when the fraction is simplified)
-2+- \sqrt{6}
