Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write this rate as an ordinary differential equation.
Where a is proportional constant, P the population variable, and t the time.
Integrating each side of the equation.
To find C we need to use the initial condiction, it means evaluae P at t=0.
Now, we use the sentence the population has doubled in 5 years.
We can find "a" in this condition.
Finally, let's find how long will it take to triple.
