First, the formula for compounding continuously is: $A = P \times e ^{0.045t}$

7. tcarroll010 Group Title

$800 = 400 \times e ^{0.045t}$ $2 = e ^{0.045t}$$\ln 2 = \ln e ^{0.045t}$$\frac{ \ln 2 }{ 0.045 } = t$

8. tcarroll010 Group Title

t = 15.4

9. tcarroll010 Group Title

For the second one,$1200 = 600 \times e ^{(r)(10)}$ $2 = e ^{10r}$$\ln 2 = \ln e ^{10r}$$\frac{ \ln 2 }{ 10 } = r = 0.0693$
