Biotransformation of an organic compound having concentration $$(x)$$ can be modeled using an ordinary differential equation $$\,{{d\,x} \over {dt}} + k\,{x^2} = 0,$$ where $$k$$ is the reaction rate constant. If $$x=a$$ at $$t=0$$ then solution of the equation is
A
$$x = a\,{e^{ - kt}}$$
B
$$\,{1 \over x} = {\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$} \kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em \lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle a$}} + k\,t$$
C
$$x = a\left( {1 - {e^{ - kt}}} \right)$$
D
$$x = a\, + k\,t$$
