Jacob Bernoulli discovered this constant , X by studying a question about
compound interest . One example is an account that starts with $1.00 and
pays 100 percent 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
$1.00Ă1.5² = $2.25. Compounding quarterly
yields $1.00Ă1.254 = $2.4414..., and
compounding monthly yields
$1.00Ă(1.0833...)12 = $2.613035....
Bernoulli noticed that this sequence approaches
a limit , X.
