Question:
The rate of growth dP/dt of a population of bacteria is proportional to the square root of t, where P is the population size and t is the time in days (0 ≤ t ≤ 10). That is,
The initial size of the population is 500. After 1 day the population has grown to 600. Estimate the population after 7 days.
