The number of bighorn sheep in a population increases at a rate that is proportional to the number of rabbits present (at least for awhile.)
So does any population of living creatures. Other things that increase or decrease at a rate proportional to the amount present include radioactive material and money in an interest-bearing account.
If the rate of change is proportional to the amount present, the change can be modeled by:
dy kydt

dy kydt
1 dy k dty
1 dy k dty
ln y kt C
Rate of change is proportional to the amount present.
Divide both sides by y.
Integrate both sides.

1 dy k dty
ln y kt C
Integrate both sides.
Exponentiate both sides.
When multiplying like bases, add exponents. So added exponents can be written as multiplication.

If the constant k is positive then the equation represents growth. If k is negative then the equation represents decay.

Population Growth
In the spring, a bee population will grow according to an exponential model. Suppose that the rate of growth of the population is 30% per month.
a) Write a differential equation to model the population growth of the bees.
b) If the population starts in January with 20,000 bees, use your model to predict the population on June 1st.
