A mathematical model for world population growth over short intervals is given by P = P 0

Question:

A mathematical model for world population growth over short intervals is given by

P = P0ert

where

P0 = population at time t = 0
r = continuous compound rate of growth
t = time in years
P = population at time t

How long will it take the world population to double if it continues to grow at its current continuous compound rate of 1.13% per year?
