Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

Below are the answers:

a. An = Ao • 2^(t/30) 
b. An = 1500 • 2^(60*2/30) or An = 24000 
c. 4000 = 1500 • 2^(t/30) 
or 4000/1500 = 2^(t/30) 
or ln(40/15) = (t/30) ln(2) 
or t = 30* ln(8/3) / ln(2) 
or t ~ 42.45 min
