Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:   V(t) = P* (1 +  r/2)^(2t)

r = 4% = 0.04

P =$1,900

V(t) = $1,900 *(1 + 0.04/2)^ (2t)

V = 1900 *(1.02)^(2t)

$3,875.79  =  1900 * 1.02^2t

3875.79/1900 =  1.02^ (2t)

2.0398894736842  = 1.02 ^(2t)

ln 2.0398894736842 =  ln (1.02^(2t) )

ln 2.0398894736842 =  2*t*ln (1.02)

ln 2.0398894736842  /(2* ln (1.02)) =  t

0.71289562682179 / (2 * 0.0198   )  = t

18.00002 years  = t
