Answer:

[tex]A=2000e^{0.085t}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure you understand the formula for continuous compounding first. The formula is:

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex] where

A= Total

P= Principal (or the amount invested at beginning)

r= Interest rate (as a decimal)

t= Time (in years)

Note: e is an irrational mathematic number similar to π. Its value is around 2.72, but for these problems, you’ll need to use the version already on your calculator that will be called “[tex]e^{x}[/tex].” On most calculators, it can be accessed by 2nd → ln.

Find the values that you are given:

A= What you are looking for

P= 2000

r= 8.5% as a decimal = 0.085

t= What you change

Plug these into the equation:

[tex]A=2000e^{0.085t}[/tex]

This is the answer!
