Yumiko invests $7500 in a Treasury Bond at 9.2% interest compounded 3 times per year.

  1. Find the equation that represents the account balance at time \(\displaystyle t\).
  2. When will the account double? e.g. when will it be $15000. Round your solution to the nearest tenth of a year.

  1. Using the compounded interest formula gives \(\displaystyle A = 7500 \cdot 1.03066666666667^{3 t}\).
  2. It will take about 7.6 years.
