Question 865086: Use the formula t=ln2/k that gives the time for a population, with a growth rate k, to double, to answer the following question. The growth model A=6e^0.0003t describes the population, A, of a country in millions, t years after 2003.

What is the country's growth rate?
__ %

0.0003 is the decimal form of the growth rate


So the growth rate is 0.0003*100 = 0.03 %


Something seems missing from the problem because it wants you to use t+=+ln%282%29%2Fk to find the doubling time, but it doesn't ask about it.
