Question:
The size of a population, P, at time t minutes is to be modelled as a continuous variable such that the rate of increase of P is directly proportional to P.
a. Write down a differential equation that is satisfied by P.
b. The initial size of the population is P0. Show that P = P0ekt, where k is a positive constant.
c. The size of the population is 1.5P0 after 2 minutes. Find when the population will be 3P0.
