\n" ); document.write( "If \"P\" is doubled, it becomes 2P.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2P = P e^(0.06t)
\n" ); document.write( "2 = e^(0.06t)
\n" ); document.write( "Take the natural log.
\n" ); document.write( "0.06t = ln2
\n" ); document.write( "t = ln2 / 0.06
\n" ); document.write( "t = 11,55 years to double.\r
