Step 1 ：Let the principal amount \(P = \$8800\), the annual interest rate \(r = 4.6\% = 0.046\), and the time \(t = 6\) years.

Step 2 ：The formula for continuous compound interest is \(A = P e^{rt}\), where \(A\) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

Step 3 ：Substitute \(P = \$8800\), \(r = 0.046\), and \(t = 6\) into the formula: \(A = 8800 \cdot e^{0.046 \cdot 6}\).

Step 4 ：Calculate the value of \(A\): \(A \approx \$11597.06\).

Step 5 ：\(\boxed{\text{The value of her investment after 6 years will be approximately \$11597.06}}\)
