(Solution Library) When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t, that is, d S


Question: When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount \(S\) present at time \(t\), that is, \(d S / d t=r S\), where \(r\) is the annual rate of interest.

  1. Find the amount of money accrued at the end of 5 years when $5000 is deposited in a savings account drawing \(5 \frac{3}{4} \%\) annual interest compounded continuously.
  2. In how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled?
  3. Use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part (a) with the amount \(S=5000\left(1+\frac{1}{4}(0.0575)\right)^{5(4)}\) that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly.
