    Section 3.5
    16 (part d only)

    Is A = pe^(rt) the correct formula? I know that r is given. I need to find p.

    If it is the correct formula, what is the value of A and t?

    I say this is not the correct formula.

    yes, the formula is correct
    r is given
    the value of A and t : it ask you to determine time t necessary for A dollars to double (or for what t you will get 2A)

    Can you please set up it for me as a formula?
    We start Chapter 4 tomorrow. Chapter 4 and several more after are all trigonometry. Prepare yourself for lots of trig problems. Like I said many times, reply when time allows. Do not allow yourself to be overwhelmed.

    2A = pe^(0.065t)

    Thank you so much. Trigonometry begins tomorrow. I want to start definition of trigonometric words that every student should be familiar with. Look for all trigonometry questions in the Geometry and Trigonometry forum.
