x Can you compound your money infinitely finding e

The video tutorial covers the concept of compound interest, illustrating how money grows over time with different compounding frequencies. It explains exponential growth and introduces the mathematical constant E, showing its role as a limit in continuous compounding. The tutorial uses examples and calculations to demonstrate how increasing the frequency of compounding affects the total amount of money earned, ultimately approaching the limit defined by E.

What is the formula used to calculate the amount after compounding interest?

• A = P(1 + r)^t

• A = P + rt

• A = P(1 + rt)
