1. The population of a town grows at the rate proportional to the population

present at any time t . The initial population of 600 increases by 12% in 10
years. What will be the population in 30 years?
dP
=kP , where Pis the population at any time
dt
dP
∫ P =∫ kdt
lnP=kt +C
Applying conditions at t=0, P=600
ln ( 600 ) =C
at t=10 , P=672
ln ( 672 )=k (10 )+ ln ⁡( 600)
ln ( 1.12 )
k= =0.01133
10
P=600 e0.01133 t
t=30 years
0.01133 (3 0 )
P=6 00 e =843

2. Brine containing 3 lb/gal of salt enters a tank at the rate of 4 gal/min and the
solution well-stirred leaves at 4 gal/min. The tank initially contains 30 gal of
water. What is the amount of salt in the tank after 5 minutes?
(3 gal /min)(4 lbs/ gal)=12lbs/ min
3 gal 2 gal 1 gal
− =
min min min
30+1 t gallons
30+1(5)=35 gallons
35 ( 3 )=1 05 lbs of salt
