Question 1137324: The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate parameter of
2.7%
per hour. How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double?
Note: This is a continuous exponential growth model.
Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

P=Poe^(0.027t)
P/Po=e^(0.027t)
P/Po=2, doubles
so 2=e^(0.027t)
ln2=0.027t
t=25.67 hours to double
