AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of how long it takes for a population to double when it grows at a rate of 8% per year, we can use a differential equation. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Set up the differential equation We know that the population grows at a rate of 8% per year. If \( P \) is the population at time \( t \), we can express the growth rate as: \[ \frac{dP}{dt} = rP \] ...
