P grows at the rate of 2% per year, the equation, find the value of t for the population is 1500,000

P(t)=1000000(1.02)t

 1500000=1000000(1.02)t|:10000001.5=1.02t1.02t=1.5|ln()tln(1.02)=ln(1.5)t=ln(1.5)ln(1.02)t=0.405465108110.01980262730t=20.4753188576 

The value of t  for the population 1500000 is 20.4753188576 years.
