When yeasts dissolve with sugar in warm water they activate: the yeast fungi me- tabolize the sugar by breaking it down into alcohol, and start to reproduce. A baker decided to dissolve one packet of yeasts (a single packet contains one billion cells of yeast fungi) and track the increase in the number of yeasts over time. She observed that the amount of yeasts doubled in 1 hour, and decided to model the number of yeasts in the solution, N(t) as a function of time t with the equation N'(t) = kN (t), where k is a constant.
