How long will it take money to double if it is invested at 8% compound semiannually?
I know you have to use the formula 2p = A = P(1+ i)^mt
I did the steps 2(1 + .08/2)^2t
Than 2 = (1.04) ^2t
ln2 = 2tln(1.04) = t = ln/2ln(1.04) ... Every time I solve it out I get a decimal answer can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
