The population of a city is modeled by the equation P(t) = 243,864e0.1t where t is measured in years. If the city continues to grow at this rate, how many years will it take for the population to reach one million? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a year (i.e. 2 decimal places). The population will reach one million in Number years.
