Q: Suppose you invest $$P = 2000$$ dollars at an annual interest rate of $$r = 5\%$$ compounded quarterly for $$t = 3$$ years. What is the total amount on deposit at the end of 3 years?

$$A = 2000 \left(1 + \frac{0.05}{4}\$$right)^{4 \times 3}$$ = 2000 \times (1.0125$$)^{12}$$ \approx 2268.24$$

Q: A bank offers an account with continuous compounding at an annual rate of $$4\%. If $$you deposit $$P = 1000$$ dollars, how much will be in the account after $$5$$ years?

$$A = 1000 \times e$$^{0.04 \times 5}$$ \approx 1000 \times e$$^{0.2}$$ \approx 1221.40$$
