It looks like the question involves determining the time required for an investment to double at an interest rate of 8.5%, compounded in different ways (annually, monthly, daily, and continuously). The correct answer for continuous compounding is already provided as 8.15 years, but the other values for daily, monthly, and annual compounding appear to be incorrect.

To solve these, we can use the following formulas:

1. Continuous Compounding:
   The formula is $A = P e^{rt}$, where $A$ is the final amount, $P$ is the principal, $r$ is the annual interest rate, and $t$ is the time in years. Since the money doubles, $A = 2P$, so: $2 = e^{0.085t}$ Taking the natural logarithm on both sides: $\ln(2) = 0.085t$ Solving for $t$: $t = \frac{\ln(2)}{0.085} \approx 8.15 \text{ years}$

2. Compounding $n$ times per year (for annually, monthly, daily compounding):
   The formula is $A = P \left( 1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{nt}$, where $n$ is the number of times the interest is compounded per year. Again, $A = 2P$, so: $2 = \left( 1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{nt}$ Taking the natural logarithm on both sides and solving for $t$, we get: $t = \frac{\ln(2)}{n \ln\left( 1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)}$ We need to apply this for $n = 1$ (annually), $n = 12$ (monthly), and $n = 365$ (daily).

Would you like me to calculate the exact values for each case?
