Question:

The world’s population grows at the rate of approximately 2% per year. If it is assumed that the population growth is exponential, then the population t years from now will be given by a function of the form P(t) = P0e0.02t, where P0 is the current population. Assuming that this model of population growth is correct, how long will it take for the world’s population to double?
