Answer:
1.00213
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula provided for the growth
A (t) = A0e^kt where A (t) is the population after time t, A0 is the initial population k is growth constant and t is time
substitute the values given into the formula
3000 = 20 e^5k
divide both side by 20
3000 /20 = e^5k
150 = e^5k
take natural logarithm of both side
In 150 = 5k
k = In 150 / 5 = 1.00213
