- Money that is compounded continuously follows the differential equation M′(t)=rM(t), where t is measured in years, M(t) is measured in dollars, and r is the rate. Suppose r=0.05 and M(0)=1000.
- What is a function that satisfies this initial value problem?
We know from class that this is an exponential M(t)=1000e0.05t.ans
- How much money will there be at year 30 (i.e. t=30)?
$4481. 69ans
- When will there be 2000 dollars?
13.86 years.ans
- What is a function that satisfies this initial value problem?
- The mass of bacteria on a deceased animal follows the equation M′(t)=0.1M(t), where M(t) is measured in grams and t is measured in hours.
- If M(0)=1, what is a function that satisfies this initial value problem?
M(t)=e0.1tans

11.02 gramsans
- When will there be one kilogram of bacteria?
2 days, 21 hoursans
- If M(0)=1, what is a function that satisfies this initial value problem?
- For a cooling object outside in 0∘ degree weather, temperature decreases according to the differential equation T′(t)=−0.05T(t), where t is measured in minutes and T(t) measured in Fahrenheit.
- If the temperature is initially 72∘, what is the function that satisfies this initial value problem?
