Continuously compounded means that the interest for an account is being calculated and applied constantly. The basic formula for continuously compounded interest is A=P*e^(r*t). Where P is the principle invested, e is the exponential function, r is the interest rate, t is the time period of investment, and A is the total amount after time t. So, in your question, A = 7500 * e^(0.05*4) or $9160.52
