Population Growth The number of a certain type of bacteria increases continuously at a rate proportional to the number present. There are 150 bacteria at a given time and 450 bacteria 5 hours later.
(a) How many bacteria will there be 10 hours after the initial time?
(b) How long will it take for the population to double?
(c) Does the answer to part (b) depend on the starting time? Explain your reasoning.
