Textbook Question

Chapter 2.3, Problem 16P

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of other factors, the population doubles each week. There are 800 , 000 mosquitoes in the area initially, and predators (birds, bats, etc.) eat 30 , 000 mosquitoes/day. Determine the population of mosquitoes in the area at any time.
