Assume that $5000 can be invested at a rate of 5%/a compound monthly.

a. Determine the length of the investment after 6 years.

b. Determine the length of time, to the nearest year, required for the investment to triple in value.


Hint for a. Use A = A0 ( l + i )^n where i is the compounded interest per month and n is the number of compounding periods.

Hint for b.
A0 = 5 000
A = 15 000
Use logarithms to solve.
