Question

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`

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 = log 30000

∴ 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 = `bb(1/40 log  4/3)`

∴ equation (1) becomes, `log ("p"/30000)` = `bb("t"/40 log  4/3)`

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

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

∴ `"p"/30000 = (4/3)^("t"/40)`

∴ p = 30000 `bb((4/3)^("t"/40))`

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


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 = 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

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.
