Answer: P = P₀ ekt.
- A P = P₀ + kt
- B P = P₀ ekt
- C P = kt
- D P = P₀/k
Correct answer: B. P = P₀ ekt
Explanation: Separate: dP/P = k dt. Integrate: ln P = kt + C. P = P₀ ekt. Classic exponential growth.
The general solution y=Ax² represents an entire FAMILY of curves, one for each value of the arbitrary constant A; a particular solution (fixed by an initial condition) selects exactly one curve from this family.
