The bank offers a rate of \( 11 \% \), compounded continuously, on any deposit that will not be removed for a minimum of 20 years. If you invest \( \$ 10,000 \) with the bank, how much money can you expect to have in the account after 20 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent (hundredth).

To calculate the future value of an investment compounded continuously, you can use the formula: \[ A = Pe^{rt} \] Where: - \( A \) is the amount of money accumulated after time \( t \), - \( P \) is the principal amount (the initial amount of money), - \( r \) is the annual interest rate (decimal), - \( t \) is the time in years, - \( e \) is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately equal to 2.71828). Plugging in the numbers: - \( P = 10,000 \) - \( r = 0.11 \) - \( t = 20 \) \[ A = 10000 \cdot e^{0.11 \cdot 20} \\ A \approx 10000 \cdot e^{2.2} \\ A \approx 10000 \cdot 9.0250 \\ A \approx 90250.00 \] After rounding to the nearest cent, you can expect to have approximately **$90,250.00** in the account after 20 years.
