Answer: B) 1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]P=100e^{0.70t}\\\\\underline{\text{Substitute P = 300:}}\\300=100e^{0.70t}\\\\\\\underline{\text{Divide both sides by 100:}}\\3=e^{0.70t}\\\\\\\underline{\text{Apply ln to both sides:}}\\ln\ 3=ln\ e^{0.70t}\\\\\\\underline{\text{ln e cancels out:}}\\ln\ 3=0.70t\\\\\\\underline{\text{Divide both sides by 0.70:}}\\\dfrac{ln\ 3}{0.70}=t\\\\\\\underline{\text{Evaluate using a calculator:}}\\1.569=t[/tex]
