Answer 1

$2753.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

For an initial amount, A(0) compounded continuously, The amount in the account, A(t) after t years at a rate of r% is:

`A(t)=A_0e^(rt)`

In the given problem:

• A(0)=$2,300

,

• r=3%=0.03

,

• t=6 years

Substitute these values into the formula:

`\begin{gathered} A(6)=2300e^(0.03*6) \\ =\$2753.60 \end{gathered}`

The amount in the account after six years is $2753.60 (rounded to the nearest cent).
