(a) Consider a population of bacteria that is modeled by $y' = ay$ in the absence of forcing.
If it takes $T = \ln(2)/3$ units of time for the population to double, find the growth
constant $a$.
(b) With the same bacteria from (a), if we start with 100 individuals at time 0, add 50
individuals at time $t = 4$, and begin harvesting at a constant rate of 10 individuals
per unit time, starting at time $t = 6$, write a new initial value problem to model this
situation. You do not have to solve it.
