use the formula \[\Large A = P*e^{r*t}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

In this case, P = 535 e = 2.71828182846... (it's a constant like pi = 3.14...) r = 0.06 t = 10

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you don't have to use 2.71828182846... as most calculators will have an 'e' button

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

where are you getting 3?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

just use the 'e' symbol in its place

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what kind of calculator do you have?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look for the LN key hit 2nd, then LN to get e^(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you should type in 535*e^(0.06*10)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm getting 974.833558209128 So yeah it's B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

wolfram alpha confirms it http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=535*e^%280.06*10%29

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

go ahead

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how are you getting 24.66? I'm getting 22.130157888803

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm I have a bad feeling that since we're off, we might kill the patient lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
