Question
The rate of decay of certain substances is directly proportional to the amount present at that instant. Initially, there is 25 gm of certain substance and two hours later it is found that 9 gm are left. Find the amount left after one more hour.
Solution
Let x gm be the amount of the substance left at time t.
Then the rate of decay is `"dx"/"dt"`, which is proportional to x.
∴ `"dx"/"dt" prop "x"`
∴ `"dx"/"dt"` = - kx, where k > 0
∴ `1/"x" "dx"` = - k dt
On integrating, we get
`int1/"x" "dx" = - "k" int "dt" + "c"`
∴ log x = - kt + c
Initially i.e. when t = 0, x = 25
∴ log 25 = - k × 0 + c [∴ c = log 25]
∴ log x = - kt + log 25
∴ log x - log 25 = - kt
∴ log`("x"/25) = - "kt"` ....(1)
Now, when t = 2, x = 9
∴ `log(9/25) = - 2"k"`
∴ `- 2"k" = log (3/5)^2 = 2 log(3/5)`
∴ k = - log`(3/5)`
∴ (1) becomes, `log ("x"/25) = "t" log(3/5)`
When t = 3, then
`log ("x"/25) = 3 log (3/5) = log (3/5)^3`
∴ `"x"/25 = 27/125`
∴ x = `27/5`
∴ the amount left after 3 hours = `27/5` gm.

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 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.
