Question 930460: Please Help:
The bilious mayor of Duckberg calls the mild mannered young city planner into his office to for a report on the city's projected population growth. The planner explains that the city's population is growing according to P(t)=68,378e^.03t, where t is in years and t= 0 is the present year. The mayor asks how long (in years) that formula predicts it will take to double the city's population. What should the planner answer?
Thank You

P(t)=68,378e^.03t,
2 =e^.03t
ln(2)/.03 = t = 23.1 years it will take to double the city's population
