Using the formula V = P n r t V=Pe rt, where V is the value of the account in t years, P is the principal initially invested, e is the base of a natural logarithm, and r is the rate of interest, determine the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 13 years.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for continuously compounded interest is

    V = P x e (r x t)

    Where

    V represents the future value of the account after t years.

    P represents the principal or initial amount invested

    e is the base of a natural logarithm,

    r represents the interest rate

    t represents the time in years for which the investment was made.

    e is the mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183.

    From the information given,

    P = $934

    r = 6.1% = 6.1/100 = 0.061

    t = 13 years

    Therefore,

    V = 934 e (0.061 x 13)

    V = 934 e (0.793)

    V = $2064.2 to the nearest cent
