\)2,000 is invested in an account that earns interest at a rate of 8.5% and is compounded continuously. Find the particular solution that describes the growth of this account in dollars A after t years. Hint: When interest is compounded continuously, it grows exponentially with a growth constant equivalent to the interest rate.
A
A=2000e0.085∙t
B
A=2000e8.5∙t
C
A=2000te0.085
D
A=2000te8.5
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Recognize that the problem involves continuous compounding of interest, which follows the formula A = P * e^(r * t), where A is the amount after time t, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), and t is the time in years.
Step 2: Identify the given values from the problem: P = 2000 (the initial investment), r = 8.5% = 0.085 (convert the percentage to a decimal), and t represents the number of years.
Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. Replace P with 2000 and r with 0.085 to get A = 2000 * e^(0.085 * t).
Step 4: Understand that this formula represents the particular solution describing the growth of the account over time. The variable t remains in the formula to allow calculation for any specific number of years.
Step 5: Note that the exponential function e^(0.085 * t) models the continuous growth of the investment, and the principal amount 2000 scales the growth accordingly.
