Suppose you have $3800 that you invest at a 5% interest rate compounded continuously for 35 years. How much money will you have? (2 decimal places)

Respuesta :

Answer:

$21,867.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the problem deals with continuous compound interest, we can use its correlating formula [tex]P(t)=Pe^r^t[/tex], where P is the principal (initial) amount, r is the rate in decimal form and t is time in years.

We're given the initial value, $3800, the rate which is 5% or 0.05 and the time, 35 years. All we have to do is plug in the values and evaluate.

[tex]P(t)=Pe^r^t=(3800)e^0^.^0^5^(^3^5^)=21,867.49[/tex]
