Question 445742: The present concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 354 parts per million and is increasing at a continuous rate of 4%. How many years will it take for concentration to reach 500 parts per million
i know the continuos interest equation is APe^(rt)
e. 2.718

500 = 354 e^(.04t)
500/354 = e^(.04t)
ln(500/354) = .04t
[ln(500/354)] / .04 = t
