Given f(t)=287e0.26t\displaystyle {f{{\left({t}\right)}}}={287}{e}^{{{0.26}{t}}} where 't' is in years, what is the continuous annual rate?

Hint: Your answer will be a number between -30 and 30

Continuous Annual Rate as a percentage is = %  

 

What is the annual % rate?

HINT: First Convert the equation f(t)=287e0.26t\displaystyle {f{{\left({t}\right)}}}={287}{e}^{{{0.26}{t}}} to the form f(t)=abt\displaystyle {f{{\left({t}\right)}}}={a}{b}^{{t}} and use the b - value to determine your answer.

Give answer as a percentage accurate to three decimal places.

HINT: Your answer will be a number between -30 and 35.

Annual Percentage Rate is = %
