Suppose that a bacteria colony in a petri dish is growing unrestrictedly. Let P (t) represent the population at time t, and suppose that P'(t) = kP (t) for some constant k > 0. If it takes 5 days for the population of bacteria to double, how long does it take for the population to triple?

The number N of bacteria in a culture is given by the model N = 190ekt, where t is the time (in hours), with t = 0 corresponding to the time when N = 190. When t = 10, there are 290 bacteria. How long does it take the bacteria population to double in size? To triple in size? (Round your value of k to five decimal places. Round your final answers to two decimal places.)
