At time $t,$ the population $P(t)$ of a certain city is increasing at a rate that is proportional to the number of residents in the city at that time. In January $2000,$ the population of the city was 10,000 and by 2005 it had risen to 20,000. (a) What will the population of the city be at the beginning of the year $2020 ?$ (b) In what year will the population reach one million?
