Determine end value of compound interest continuously

The video tutorial explains the concept of continuous compounding using the formula A = P * E^(R*T). It breaks down each component of the formula, including the final amount (A), principal (P), constant (E), interest rate (R), and time (T). The tutorial provides a practical example, calculating the final amount for a $12,000 deposit at an 8% interest rate over 50 years, resulting in $655,177.80. The importance of using a scientific calculator for such calculations is emphasized.

What formula is used to calculate the final amount when interest is compounded continuously?

What is the value of 'E' in the context of continuous compounding?

How is the annual interest rate expressed in the formula for continuous compounding?
