Question:
The population of a country is increasing according to the formula

t
P = 20 + 10 e 50
where P is the population in thousands and t is the time in years after the year
2000.
(a) State the population in the year 2000.
(b) Use the model to predict the population in the year 2020.
(c) Sketch the graph of P against t for the years 2000 to 2100.
Solution:
t
P = 20 + 10 e 50
(a) The year 2000 corresponds to t = 0.
t
Substitute t = 0 into P = 20 + 10 e 50
P = 20 + 10 e0 = 20 + 10 1 = 30
Population = 30 thousand
(b) The year 2020 corresponds to t = 20.

t
Substitute t = 20 into P = 20 + 10 e 50
20
P = 20 + 10 e 50 = 20 + 14.918 = 34.918 thousand
Population in 2020 will be 34 918
(c)
Year 2100 is t = 100

Question:
The number of people infected with a disease varies according to the formula
N = 300 100 e 0.5t
where N is the number of people infected with the disease and t is the time in
years after detection.
(a) How many people were first diagnosed with the disease?
(b) What is the long term prediction of how this disease will spread?
(c) Graph N against t.

Solution:
N = 300 100 e 0.5t

(a) The number first diagnosed means when t = 0.
Substitute t = 0 in N = 300 100 e 0.5t
N = 300 100 e 0.5 0 = 300 100 1 = 200
The long term prediction suggests t .

(b)
As t , e 0.5t 0
So N 300 100 0 = 300

Solution:
t
