Word problem, please help!

You invested $52,000.00 at 6% for 5 years. What is your total return on this investment for the following compounding:

i) Annually
ii) Quarterly
iii) Semiannual
iv) Continuously
v) When will your investment double?

What do those ^ mean & how do I figure it out??

Also this came with it: A=P(1+\frac{ r }{ n })^{nt}
A=Pe ^{rt}

$$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$$

@e.mccormick can you please help?

52,000 X 6 / 100 = 3120/year

@Samour would that be $$52000*\frac{6}{100}$$ = 3120 annually??
