Respuesta :

[tex]\bf ~~~~~~ \stackrel{daily}{\textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount}}\\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$3150.37\\ r=rate\to 4.1\%\to \frac{4.1}{100}\to &0.041\\ t=years\to &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=3150.37e^{0.041\cdot 20}\implies A=3150.37e^{0.82}\implies A\approx 7152.91457[/tex]
