Suppose that water is entering a cylindrical water tank so that the initial height of the water is 3 cm and the height of the water doubles every 30 seconds. Write an equation of the height of the water at time t seconds.

Explain how the number e arose in our exploration of the average rate of change of the height of the water in the water tank.
