To study population growth, we use the following formula
[tex]P=P_0\cdot e^{rt}[/tex]Where,
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=1,395,000 \\ P_0=775,000 \\ r=0.0675 \end{gathered}[/tex]Let's replace the values above, and solve for t.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1,395,000=775,000\cdot e^{0.0675t} \\ e^{0.0675t}=\frac{1,395,000}{775,000} \\ e^{0.0675t}=1.8 \\ \ln (e^{0.0675t})=\ln (1.8) \\ 0.0675t=\ln (1.8) \\ t=\frac{\ln (1.8)}{0.0675} \\ t\approx8.7 \end{gathered}[/tex]
