A certain bacterium is known to grow according to the Malthusian model, doubling itself every 8 hours. If a biologist starts with a culture containing 20,000 bacteria, then harvests the culture at a constant rate of 2000 bacteria per hour, how long until the culture is depleted? What would happen in the same time span if the initial culture contained 25,000 bacteria?
