Answer

See three-part explanation below

Work Step by Step

a) If the value of y at time $t$ is $P(t)$ and if the rate of change is proportional to the magnitude of $P(t)$ at any time, then $\frac{dP}{dt}=kP$ IN a relative growth rate problem, $1/P *dP/dt$ is constant. b) Unlimited environment, no diseases or predations, no malnutrition, no outside influence c) If $P(0) = P_0$ the initials value, then the solution is $P(t) = P_0 *e^{kt}$.
