Complete the table assuming continuously compounded interest. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
Initial Investment:
Annual % Rate:
Time to Double: 8 yr
Amount After 10 Years: $1700
I don't understand how to get in the initial investment of annual % rate given only the time to double and amount after 10 years.

to double in 8 years, you need interest rate r where
(1+r)^8 = 2
r = 0.0905 or 9.05%
So, with initial amount P, you have
P(1+.0905)^10 = 1700
Now just solve for P.
(1+r)^8 = 2
r = 0.0905 or 9.05%
So, with initial amount P, you have
P(1+.0905)^10 = 1700
Now just solve for P.
