Question

When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time $t$, that is, $dS/dt = rS$, where $r$ is the annual rate of interest. (a) Find the amount of money accrued at the end of 5 years when $8000 is deposited in a savings account drawing $5\frac{3}{4}$% annual interest compounded continuously. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ (b) In how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled? (Round your answer to the nearest year.) 12 years (c) Use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part (a) with the amount $S = 8000\left(1 + \frac{1}{4}(0.0575)\right)^{5(4)}$ that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ = $
