\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The period for population tripling is 1 hour, so if x is in hours,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28p=N%2A%283%29%5Ex%29\"$ ----------your model.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After 5 hours, the value for p is very simply $\"p=N%2A3%5E5\"$ or $\"p=243%2AN\"$ . \n" ); document.write( "
