Sagot :

Answer in terms of Ln:   [tex]20*\text{Ln}\left(\frac{25}{13}\right)\\\\[/tex]

Answer in decimal form:   13.1

=======================================================

Work Shown:

[tex]P(t) = 1,300,000e^{0.05t}\\\\2,500,000 = 1,300,000e^{0.05t}\\\\e^{0.05t} = \frac{2,500,000}{1,300,000}\\\\e^{0.05t} = \frac{25}{13}\\\\0.05t = \text{Ln}\left(\frac{25}{13}\right)\\\\t = 20*\text{Ln}\left(\frac{25}{13}\right)\\\\t \approx 13.0785293481332\\\\t \approx 13.1\\\\[/tex]
