Question

If lucas puts $1500 in a saving account that pays 3% interest compounded annually, how much money will he have in the account after 5 years?

Answer 1

Answer:A = 1500e^(0.03 * 5) = 1500e^(0.15)

use definition of logarithm

0.15 = ln(A / 1500)

0.15 = ln(A) - ln(1500)

ln(A) = 0.15 + ln(1500) = 0.15 + 7.313220387 = 7.463220387
