A colony of bacteria is grown in a laboratory so that the population increases exponentially with time p(t)=Ae^rt. At the end of 3 hours, there are 10000 bacteria, at the end of 5 hours there are 40,000. Determine the initial population A, the growth rate r of the exponential, and the differential equation of the form dp/dt = kp that the bacteria population satisfies.
