Solution
Let N be the number of bacteria present at time t.
∵ The rate of increase is proportional to the number present.
`(dN)/(dt) ∝ N`
∴ `(dN)/(dt)` = k. N
Where k is the constant of proportionality.
∴ `(dN)/N` = k. dt
Integrating both sides,
`int 1/N. dN = k int dt`
log N = k. t + C ......(1)
Now at, t = 0, N = N0
∴ From (1),
log N0 = C ......(2)
At t = 4, N = 2N0
∴ From (1),
log 2N0 = 4K + log N0 ......[∵ C = log N0]
⇒ log 2N0 – log N0 = 4k
⇒ `log((2N_0)/N_0)` = 4k
⇒ log 2 = 4k
⇒ k = `1/4` log 2
When t = 12,
log N = `1/4 log 2 xx 12 + log N_0`
⇒ `log (N/N_0)` = 3 log 2 = log23
⇒ `log(N/N_0)` = log 8
⇒ N = 8N0.

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.
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.
