    Finance and capital markets on Khan Academy: This is an older tutorial (notice the low-res, bad handwriting) about one of the coolest numbers in reality and how it falls out of our innate desire to compound interest continuously.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    Thanks, really helpful to understand where the formula comes from rather than just typing it in at the exams :D

    Hahaha! I was just watching Futurama's older episodes... 93 cents at 2.25 interest for 1000 years was about 4.28 billion... Searced it and saw all these different arguments for compounding interest.
    Khan's tha mannnn!

    KhanAcademy probably mentions this in another video.
    However, for a quick way to get doubling time (useful for checking results).
    Doubling time = 72 divided by rate of increase. (plz note, it introduces some inaccuracy)
    ie, 6% interest per year = 72/6 = 12 = doubling time of 12 years.
    ie, the initial quantity will double in 12 years with a 6% rate of increase.
    This shortcut might be good as a the subject of a video.. ie, why is it that 72 works like this?
    I get it intuitively, imagining a function curve, but have never seen it explored/described properly.

    • @Ash-ii4hg
      @Ash-ii4hg 3 роки тому +1

      True, but he explained how it works. I mean, you really can just do a Google search if you really want to know, but you can’t fully get it just by that. Here it instead shows how the equation is made and why it works out, a lot more important in my opinion.

  • @milindbebarta2226
    @milindbebarta2226 2 місяці тому

    But if 0.05 is the annual compounded rate, isn't the continuously compounded rate = ln(1+0.05) and not 0.05?

    7:48 "all of that is equal to E"
    yes, guys, even Sal Khan agrees that whatever happens, everything comes back to the E

    @janetaylor8055 10 років тому +3

    @MathMars Using the formula A=Pe^rt for continuously compounding interest, when you solve to see how long it takes P to double, you always end up with ln(2) divided by the interest rate. ln(2)=.693, so ln(2)/.06 is approximately equal to 72/6

  • @RitsuOuO
    @RitsuOuO 7 років тому

    I need an answer now. How do you do this problem? What interest rate is required for an investment subject to continuous compounding to double in 10 years? I am so confused because this problem only has T=10years.

      ***** It's correct, I figured it out a while ago though, thanks.

      t is the number of years.
      u can figure it out by using logarithm.t will be:
      [ln(FV/PV)]/r
