\n" ); document.write( "You want the future value, V(t), to be twice the present value, V(0):

\n" ); document.write( "\"V%280%29e%5E%280.087t%29+=+2V%280%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"e%5E%280.087t%29+=+2\"

\n" ); document.write( "Since the unknown is in an exponent, you need to use logarithms.

\n" ); document.write( "\"ln%28e%5E%280.087t%29%29+=+ln%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.087t+=+ln%282%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "You can finish from there.
