Provide an appropriate response.Suppose that you want to invest some money in order to have $1000 available at some later time. If you invest it at 7% interest compounded continuously, the amount you need to invest now, P, is related to the number of years from now that you need the money, t, by: P(t) = 1000e-0.07t. Graph this on your graphing calculator in the window ×. Discuss the behavior of this graph.

What will be an ideal response?


The graph shows that the earlier you invest the money, the less you need to invest.
