Let w(t) be the testing effort expenditure at time t.

The total testing effort expenditure in [0,t] is expressed as:

Z
t
w(t) = 0 w(x)dx

dm(t)
= b(a − m(t))w(t)
dt
dm(t)
Z Z
=⇒ = b w(t)dt
a − m(t)
=⇒ − log |a − m(t)| = bW (t) + log c
As t −→ 0 =⇒ m(t) = m(0) = 0 =⇒ W (t) = 0
=⇒ − log a = log c
=⇒ − log |a − m(t)| = bW (t) − log a
a
=⇒ bW (t) = − log | |
a − m(t)
a
=⇒ = ebW (t)
a − m(t)
a − m(t)
=⇒ = e−bW (t)
a
=⇒ a − m(t) = ae−bW (t)
=⇒ m(t) = a(1 − e−bW (t))
