Tyler invested $350 in an account paying an interest rate of 4.5% compounded continuously. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how long would it take, to the nearest tenth of a year, for the value of the account to reach $700?

How long will it take?

In the previous 2 examples, we used the ln function to elimnate e.

y=ln{x} is called the natural logarithm and is the inverse of the exponential funcion y=e^x.

We will use it solve for time (when the base isn't e). Then, we just have to ln both sides of the equation.
