Answer 1

equation to find balence of continues compounding is

here P is amount invested . here P=17000

r is Apr in decimal . here Apr= 3.75 . so r= 0.0375

t is number of years .

equation to find Apy is

1 year

put t=1

5 year

put t=5

20 year

t=20

now

this is in decimal . so multiply by 100.

sp  apy= 3.821%
