we are given the following formula for the balance of a bank account:


f(t)=10e^(0.07t)

a. The opening balance is given when the value of the time "t" is zero, that is t = 0:


\begin{gathered} f(0)=10e^(0.07(0)) \\ f(0)=10 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the initial balance is 10.

b. To determine when the balance reaches 1000000 we need to replace f(t) = 1000000 and solve for "t":


1000000=e^(0.07t)

Taking natural logarithm on both sides:


\ln 1000000=0.07t

Dividing both sides by 0.07:


(1)/(0.07)\ln 1000000=t

Solving the operation:


197.4=t

Therefore, the balance will be 1000000 in 197.4 years.
