$\begin{gathered} t=(\ln((A)/(P)))/(n\lbrack\ln(1+(r)/(n))\rbrack) \\ \text{Given} \\ A=2296 \\ P=2000 \\ r=0.056 \\ n=2 \\ \text{Substitute} \\ t=(\ln((A)/(P)))/(n\lbrack\ln(1+(r)/(n))]) \\ t=(\ln((2296)/(2000)))/(2\lbrack\ln(1+(0.056)/(2))\rbrack) \\ \text{ Input in a scientific calculator and we get} \\ t=2.5\text{ years} \end{gathered}$
