1 Exponential Growth and Decay February 28, 2007

2 P 404 Problem 5 The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the law of uninhibited growth. If there are 1000 mosquitoes initially and there are 1800 after 1 day, what is the size of the colony after 3 days? How long is it until there are 10,000 mosquitoes?
