Answer:

  • 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Use formula for continuous interest:</u>

  • A = Pe^{rt}, where r- interest rate, t- time in years

<u>If A = 3P, and r = 0.085 then the equation is:</u>

  • 3P = Pe^{0.085t}
  • 3 = e^{0.085t}
  • ln 3 = 0.085t
  • 1.099 = 0.085t
  • t = 1.099 / 0.085
  • t = 12.9 ≈ 13 years

The formula for compounded continuously is A = Pe^rt where A if the final amount, P is the initial value, r is the rate and t is the length of time.

E is the constant for continuous interest.

Using the information from the problem $20 tripled would be 20x3 = $60

Now you have 60 = 20e^0.085(t)

We need to solve for t:

Divide both sides by 20:

e^0.085(t) =3

Apply the exponent rule:

0.085(t) = ln(3)

Solve for t:

T = ln(3)/0.085

T = 12.92 years. (Round off as needed)
