OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

your question seems incomplete?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the continuous rate is 3% so idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to increase an number by 3% you multiply it by 1.03

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the equation is P=PoA^t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

apparantly a=1+r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so every year this will increase by 3% yes, in your example A = 1.03

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this clear or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first part of the question shows Continuous example P=70e^0.03t and thats 3% what s the annual

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find \[e^{.03}\] and subtract 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i use thedecimals or round to just 3%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.045 or 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k i got it wrong so it gave me new values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e^{.03}=1.0304545...\] so annual rate is \[.0304545...\] or \[ 3.045\%\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
