In a certain culture of bacteria, the rate of increase is proportional to the number present. If it is found that the number doubles in 4 hours, find the number of times the bacteria are increased in 12 hours.
Solution: Let x be the number of bacteria in the culture at time t.
Then the rate of increase of x is `"dx"/"dt"` which is proportional to x.
∴ `"dx"/"dt" ∝ "x"`
∴ `"dx"/"dt"` = kx, where k is a constant
∴ `square`
On integrating, we get
`int "dx"/"x" = "k" int "dt"`
∴ log x = kt + c
Initially, i.e. when t = 0, let x = x0
∴ log x0 = k × 0 + c
∴ c = `square`
∴ log x = kt + log x0
∴ log x - log x0 = kt
∴ `log ("x"/"x"_0)`= kt ......(1)
Since the number doubles in 4 hours, i.e. when t = 4,
x = 2x0
∴ `log ((2"x"_0)/"x"_0)` = 4k
∴ k = `square`
∴ equation (1) becomes, `log ("x"/"x"_0) = "t"/4` log 2
When t = 12, we get
`log ("x"/"x"_0) = 12/4` log 2 = 3 log 2
∴ `log ("x"/"x"_0)` = log 23
∴ `"x"/"x"_0 = 8`
∴ x = `square`
∴ number of bacteria will be 8 times the original number in 12 hours.
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 = ec
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
∴ ek = `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
The population of city doubles in 80 years, in how many years will it be triple when the rate of increase is proportional to the number of inhabitants. `("Given" log3/log2 = 1.5894)`
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 = N
∴ log N = k × 0 + c
∴ c = `square`
When t = 80, p = 2N
∴ log 2N = 80k + log N
∴ log 2N – log N = 80k
∴ `log ((2"N")/"N")` = 80k
∴ log (2) = 80k
∴ k = `square`
∴ p = 3N, then t = ?
∴ log p = `log2/80 "t" + log "N"`
∴ log 3N – log N = `square`
∴ t = `square` = `square` years
The rate of decay of certain substance is directly proportional to the amount present at that instant. Initially, there are 27 gm of certain substance and 3 h later it is found that 8 gm are left, then the amount left after one more hour is ______.

The rate of increase of bacteria in a certain culture is proportional to the number present. If it doubles in 7 hours, then in 35 hours its number would be ______.
In a certain culture of bacteria, the rate of increase is proportional to the number present. If it is found that the number doubles in 4 hours, find the number of times the bacteria are increased in 12 hours.
Solution:
Let N be the number of bacteria present at time ‘t’.
Since the rate of increase of N is proportional to N, the differential equation can be written as –
`(dN)/dt αN`
∴ `(dN)/dt` = KN, where K is constant of proportionality
∴ `(dN)/N` = k . dt
∴ `int 1/N dN = K int 1 . dt`
∴ log N = `square` + C ...(1)
When t = 0, N = N0 where N0 is initial number of bacteria.
∴ log N0 = K × 0 + C
∴ C = log N0
Also when t = 4, N = 2N0
∴ log (2 N0) = K . 4 + `square` ...[From (1)]
∴ `log((2N_0)/N_0)` = 4K,
∴ log 2 = 4K
∴ K = `square` ...(2)
Now N = ? when t = 12
From (1) and (2)
log N = `1/4 log 2 . (12) + log N_0`
log N – log N0 = 3 log 2
∴ `log(N_0/N_0)` = `square`
∴ N = 8 N0
∴ Bacteria are increased 8 times in 12 hours.
