LEANER’S GUIDE

CALA COMPONENT E
DISTRICT GOROMONZI
PROVINCE MASHONALAND EAST
LEARNING AREA: PURE MATHEMATICS

LEVEL: FORM SIX

SYLLABUS TOPIC: CALCULUS

SUB TOPIC: DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

CALA TITLE: Solving first order differential equations

BACKGROUND
The school wants to plant some gum trees so that it may create its own furniture out of them,
but it is having difficulty predicting how long these trees will take to grow. It wants to make
use of first differential order in calculating the period and maximum height of each gum tree
after planting. The height h metres of a gum tree at time t years after being planted assumes
1
that the rate of increase of its height is directly proportional to ( 10−h ) 2 . When t = 0, h = 1 and
dh
= 0,4.
dt

PART A
1
dh 2 (
(a) Show that the information above satisfies the differential equation = 10−h ) 2
dt 15
(b) Solve this differential equation to obtain an expression for h in terms of t
(c) Find the maximum height of the tree and the time taken to reach this height after
planting
2
(d) Find the height taken to reach of its maximum height.
5
PART B
(a) Sketch a graph for the information above in b
(b) Make some recommendations to the school authorities if they are to continue doing this
project or not
CALA TIPS: You are reminded to:
 Show all your workings clearly.
 Use googles where necessary
 Marks will be awarded for submission
 Reduce the general formula to simplest and workable form.
