We have

 

2A  = A(1 + r/4)^(4t )     divide by A

 

2 = (1 + r/4)^(4t)          take the log of both sides

 

log 2  = 4t log ( 1 + r/4)      divide both sides by   4log(1 + r/4)

 

log 2  / [ 4 * log (1 + r/4) ]    = t        where r is some rate of interest  and t is the time in years

 

 

 

cool cool cool
