Answer:

$9627.46

Explanation:

-The amount after 19 years for a 6.5% compounded continuously is given by the formula:


A=Pe^(rt)

Where:

A is the final amount after investment

P is the initial amount invested

r is the stated annual interest rate.

t is period of investment

#We then substitute our values in the equation to solve for A:


A=Pe^(rt)\\\\=2800e^(19* 0.065)\\\\=9627.46

Hence, the amount after 19 years is $9,627.46
