15000 = 3000(1 + .05/365)365t
5 = (1 + .05/365)365t
log(5) = 365tlog(1 + .05/365)
t = log(5)/365log(1 + .05/365)
t = 32 years

asked 12/09/20Estimate the number of years that the accumulated balance (future value) will reach $15,000 if the principal (present value) is $3,000 compounding daily with the annual interest rate is 5%. Round your answer to one decimal place.
15000 = 3000(1 + .05/365)365t
5 = (1 + .05/365)365t
log(5) = 365tlog(1 + .05/365)
t = log(5)/365log(1 + .05/365)
t = 32 years
