■ Jacob Bernoulli discovered this _________while studying a question
about compound interest.

■ An account that starts with $1.00 and pays 100% interest per year. If
the interest is credited once, at the end of the year, the value is $2.00;
but if the interest is computed and added twice in the year, the $1 is
multiplied by 1.5 twice, yielding $1.00×1.5² = $2.25. Compounding
quarterly yields $1.00×1.254 = $2.4414…, and compounding monthly
yields $1.00×(1.0833…)12 = $2.613035….

■ Bernoulli noticed that this sequence approaches a limit (the force of
interest) for more and smaller compounding intervals. Compounding
weekly yields $2.692597…, while compounding daily yields
$2.714567…, just two cents more. Using n as the number of
compounding intervals, with interest of 100%/n in each interval, the
limit for large n is the number that came to be known as
_____________; with continuous compounding, the account value will
reach $2.7182818…. More generally, an account that starts at $1,
and yields (1+R) dollars at simple interest, will yield ____________
dollars with continuous compounding.
