Bacteria increases at the rate proportional to the number of bacteria present. If the original number N doubles in 4 hours, find in how many hours the number of bacteria will be 16N.

Solution: Let x be the number of bacteria in the culture at time t.

Then the rate of increase of x is `("d"x)/"dt"` which is proportional to x.

∴ `("d"x)/"dt" ∝ x`

∴ `("d"x)/"dt"` = kx, where k is a constant

∴ `("d"x)/x` = kdt

On integrating, we get

`int ("d"x)/x = "k" int "dt"`

∴ log x = kt + c    .....(1)

∴ x = aekt where a = e

Initially, i.e.,when t = 0, let x = N

∴ N = aek(0)

∴ a = `square`

∴ a = N, x = Nekt    ......(2)

When t = 4, x = 2N

From equation (2), 2N = Ne4k

∴ e4k = 2

∴  e= `square`

Now we have to find out t, when x = 16N

From equation (2),

16N = Nekt 

∴ 16 = ekt 

∴ `"t"/4 = square` hours

Hence, number of bacteria will be 16N in `square` hours

Let x be the number of bacteria in the culture at time t.

Then the rate of increase of x is `("d"x)/"dt"` which is proportional to x.

∴ `("d"x)/"dt" ∝ x`

∴ `("d"x)/"dt"` = kx, where k is a constant

∴ `("d"x)/x` = kdt

On integrating, we get

`int ("d"x)/x = "k" int "dt"`

∴ log x = kt + c    .....(1)

∴ x = aekt where a = e

Initially, i.e.,when t = 0, let x = N

∴ N = aek(0)

∴ a = N

∴ a = N, x = Nekt    ......(2)

When t = 4, x = 2N

From equation (2), 2N = Ne4k

∴ e4k = 2

∴  e= `bb(2^(1/4))`

Now we have to find out t, when x = 16N

From equation (2),

16N = Nekt 

∴ 16 = ekt

∴ 24 = `2^("t"/4)`

∴ `"t"/4` = 4 hours

∴ t = 16 hours

Hence, number of bacteria will be 16N in 16 hours

The rate of growth of population is proportional to the number present. If the population doubled in the last 25 years and present population is 1 lac., when will the city have population 4,00,000?

Solution: Let p be the population at time t. 

Then the rate of increase of p is `"dp"/"dt"` which is proportional to p.

∴ `"dp"/"dt" ∝ "p"`

∴ `"dp"/"dt"` = kp, where k is a constant

∴ `"dp"/"p"` = kdt

On integrating, we get

`int "dp"/"p" = "k"int "dt"`

∴ log p = kt + c

Initially, i.e., when t = 0, let p = 100000

∴ log 100000 = k × 0 + c

∴ c = `square`

∴ log p = kt + log 100000

∴ log p – log 100000 = kt

∴ `log ("P"/100000)` = kt  ......(i)

Since the number doubled in 25 years, i.e., when t = 25, p = 200000

∴ `log (200000/100000)` = 25k

∴ k = `square`

∴ equation (i) becomes, `log("p"/100000) = square`

When p = 400000, then find t.

∴ `log(400000/100000) = "t"/25 log 2`

∴ `log 4 = "t"/25 log 2`

∴ t = `25 (log 4)/(log 2)`

∴ t = `square` years


Find the population of city at any time t given that rate of increase of population is proportional to the population at that instant and that in a period of 40 years the population increased from 30000 to 40000.

Solution: Let p be the population at time t.

Then the rate of increase of p is `"dp"/"dt"` which is proportional to p.

∴ `"dp"/"dt" prop "p"`

∴ `"dp"/"dt"` = kp, where k is a constant.

∴ `"dp"/"p"` = k dt

On integrating, we get

`int "dp"/"p" = "k" int "dt"`

∴ log p = kt + c

Initially, i.e. when t = 0, let p = 30000

∴ log 30000 = k × 0 + c       

∴ c = `square`

∴ log p = kt + log 30000

∴ log p - log 30000 = kt

∴ `log("p"/30000)` = kt          .....(1)     

when t = 40, p = 40000

∴ `log (40000/30000) = 40"k"`

∴ k = `square`

∴ equation (1) becomes, `log ("p"/30000)` = `square`

∴ `log ("p"/30000) = "t"/40 log (4/3)`

∴ p = `square`

The rate of disintegration of a radioactive element at time t is proportional to its mass at that time. The original mass of 800 gm will disintegrate into its mass of 400 gm after 5 days. Find the mass remaining after 30 days.

Solution: If x is the amount of material present at time t then `dx/dt = square`, where k is constant of proportionality.

`int dx/x = square + c` 

∴ logx = `square`

x = `square` = `square`.ec

∴ x = `square`.a where a = ec

At t = 0, x = 800

∴ a = `square`

At t = 5, x = 400

∴ e–5k = `square`

Now when t = 30 

x = `square` × `square` = 800 × (e–5k)6 = 800 × `square` = `square`.

The mass remaining after 30 days will be `square` mg.
