(b) Mr Wee borrowed $3400 from an unlicensed money lender on 1
st
J une 2013. The
amount he owes the lender at the beginning of each month is twice the outstanding
amount at the end of the previous month.
From the month of August 2013, Mr Wee decided to repay $7000 in the middle of
each month. Find, in terms of n, the outstanding amount owed at the end of the nth
month.
Hence find the earliest month when he has fully repaid his loan. [5]

(b)A certain circular-shaped leaf has radius r cm that is proportional to the amount of
water, w, it contains during a period of its growth at time t. The leaf absorbs water
from the plant at a rate equals to 8 times the radius of the leaf and loses water by
evaporation at a rate equals to
1
t
times the area of the leaf. During the period of
growth, it may be assumed that the shape of the leaf will be the same.
