Asked by Alexis
                I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Maybe I am overthinking it.
Money is transferred into an account at the rate of R(t)=5000t(e^-0.6t)
If the account pays 2% interest compounded continuously, how much will accumulate in the account over a 9-year period?

    Money at 2% grows like e^0.02t
The amount deposited at time t gets to grow for (9-t) years. Seems to me like the account balance after 9 years is thus
∫[0,9] R(t) * e^(.02(9-t)) dt
