Suppose $2,500 is invested in an account at an annual interest rate of 7.7% compounded

continuously.

(a) For this scenario, state the numerical values forPandr.

(b) How much money is in the account at the end of five years (rounded to the nearest dollar)?

Show work.

(c) How long (to the nearest tenth of a year) will it take the investment to reach $5,000?Write an appropriate equation and show how to solve it.
