<p>Sonia’s investment grows with continuous compounding, which uses the formula: \(A = P e^{rt} \)</p>
150
<p>Sonia’s investment grows with continuous compounding, which uses the formula: \(A = P e^{rt} \)</p>
152
<p>Where: A = amount after t years P = principal = 2000 r = annual interest rate in decimal = 0.05 t = time in years = 6 \( e ≈ 2.71828\)</p>
151
<p>Where: A = amount after t years P = principal = 2000 r = annual interest rate in decimal = 0.05 t = time in years = 6 \( e ≈ 2.71828\)</p>
153
<p>Substituting the values, we get</p>

<p>Substituting the values, we get</p>
154
<p>\(A = 2000 \cdot e^{0.05 \cdot 6} = 2000 \cdot e^{0.3} \approx 2000 \cdot 1.34986 \approx 2699.72 \)</p>
153
<p>\(A = 2000 \cdot e^{0.05 \cdot 6} = 2000 \cdot e^{0.3} \approx 2000 \cdot 1.34986 \approx 2699.72 \)</p>
155
<p>So, after 6 years, Sonia will have $2,699.72 in her account. Continuous compounding grows the money slightly faster than regular compounding because interest is added constantly.</p>
