Question

What is the period of time ''t'' required for the initial infection rate ''I(t=0)'' to double in number? State answer to within 3 decimal places.

 

The rate of infections with respect to time t (measured in days) within a population is
seen to be rising exponentially according to the relation:
I = elk-1)t (1Infections per day)
This occurs over a period of 15 days from time t = [0, 15], where k = 1.3.
