A colony of fruit flies exhibits exponential growth. suppose that 500 fruit flies are present. let p(t) denote the number of fruit flies t days later, and let k=.08 denote growth constant.

Part A: The differential equation is: y '= 0.08y The initial condition is: P (0) = 500
Part B: The formula for this case is: P (t) = 500exp (0.08 * t)
Part C: After five days we have to evaluate t = 5 in the equation. We have then: P (5) = 500 * exp (0.08 * 5) P (5) = 745.9123488 Rounding: P (5) = 746
