Check my answer

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

If you put $2,000 in a savings account that pays 6% interest compounded continuously, how much money will you have in your account in 4 years? Assume you make no additional deposits or withdrawals.

OpenStudy (mrs.ambrose614):

What did u put???

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

My answer is 2542.50 but i don't think i did it right

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this 6% interest mean that for a year ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

or monthly ?

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

I have no idea

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

its continuously

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope may be for year so than you need to calculi how many is 6% of 2000$ do you can calculi it ?

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

I found the formula \[A=Pe ^{rt}\] so i think my answer is wrong

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

from this formula what letter what mean - do you know it ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry i dont know this formula

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

P=2000 r=6% t=4years so i think the equation would be \[A=2000e^{0.06(4)}\] i jsut need help solving it because i forgot what i am suppose to do with the e

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

e may be the Euler number - do you know it ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

e = 2,71 is a mathematical constant

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you dont know the value of e how you ve got this result ?

OpenStudy (isabelle99):

i found out the answer it was correct 2542.50
