2. Use the compound interest formula to find the total amount if $1 is invested at 100% interest for 1 year, when the number of compounding per year, n, is as follows: a) n = 1 b) n = 10 c) n = 100 Notice that as n grows larger, the total gets closer and closer to e dollars.
3. The variables in the compound interest formula are: A, P, n, r and t. One of these variables will be missing in the continuously compounded interest formula. Which one, and why?
4. The continuously compounded interest formula is A = Pert. Use it to find the total if
a) $100 is invested at 6% interest, compounded continuously, for one year.
b) $4500 is invested for 7 years at 5% interest, compounded continuously.
c) $1 is invested for 1 year at 100% interest, compounded continuously.
