Answer

$t \approx 21.330$

Work Step by Step

$\left(1+\frac{0.065}{365}\right)^{365t} = 4$ $\ln\left(1+\frac{0.065}{365}\right)^{365t} = \ln4$ $365t \ln\left(1+\frac{0.065}{365}\right) = \ln4$ $365t = \frac{\ln4}{\ln\left(1+\frac{0.065}{365}\right)}$ $t = \frac{\ln 4}{365\ln\left(1+\frac{0.065}{365}\right)}$ $t\approx21.330$
