The number of bacteria in a culture is modeled by a differentiable function NN, where N(t)N(t) is the number of bacteria in thousands and tt is the time in hours. The population grows according to the differential equation dNdt=kN \frac{dN}{dt} = kN , where kk is a constant. At time t=0t=0, there are 150 thousand bacteria, and the population is increasing at a rate of 45 thousand per hour. Which of the following gives an expression for N(t)N(t)?

A

150e45t 150e^{45t}

B

150e3t/10 150e^{3t/10}

C

45t+150 45t + 150

D

e3t/10+149 e^{3t/10} + 149
