The number of bacteria in a yeast culture grows at a rate which is proportional to the number present.
If the population of a colony of yeast bacteria triples in one hour, find the number of bacteria which will be present at the end of 5 hours.
:
Ao*3^t = A
Assuming we start with 1 bacteria
1*3^5 = 243 at end of 5 hrs
