The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 175, 000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, etc.) eat 18,000 mosquitoes per day. Determine the population P(t) of mosquitoes on day t.
