Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interest compounds continuously, our formula is

A(t)=Pe^{rt}

If we start with 10000 and are looking for how long, t, it takes to double, we are looking for how long it will take for our account to have 2 times 10000.  That's 20000.  Therefore, our equation is

20000=10000e^{.11t}

Divide both sides by 10000 to get

2=e^{.11t}

Take the natural log of both sides to "undo" that e:

ln(2)=ln(e^{.11t})

Again, since ln and e undo each other what we have now is

ln(2) = .11t and

\frac{ln(2)}{.11}=t so

t = 6.3 years
