(Hint: If an initial amount of S. dollars is deposited in a bank that pays an annual interest of r, compounded continuously, then the future value, s(t), of the account satisfy the initial-value problem ds/dt=rs, S(0)-S,. Moreover, if deposits amounting to d dollars per year (made uniformly throughout the year) are made into the above account, then the future value of this new account, called an annuity, will satisfy dS/dt=rs+d, S(0)=S..
