Example 1:
A hard-boiled egg at temperature 100oC is placed in 15oC water to cool. 5 minutes later the
temperature of the egg is 55oC. When will the egg be 25oC?
Example 2:
If a thermometer with a reading of 70oC, is brought into a room whose temperature is kept at a
constant 18oC, and the reading of the thermometer is 57oC after five minutes later, how long will it
take until the reading is drop to 40oC?
Example: 3
An object whose temperature of 615oC was placed in a room whose temperature is 75oC. At 4 p.m,
the object is 135oC and 1 hour later, the object was 95oC. When was the object put into the room?
Example: 4
A metal is heated up to a temperature of 500oC. It is then exposed to a temperature of 38oC. After 2
minutes, the temperature of the metal becomes 190oC. When will be the temperature be 100oC?
What is the temperature of the metal after 4 minutes?
Example: 5
A police officer were called about 3.00 a.m. on 28 Feb. 2021 where a murder victim was found in
the room that have a temperature of 15oC. The police took the temperature of the body
immediately after the body was found and 1 hour later, it obtaining the values 34.5 oC and 33.9oC,
respectively. At 4.30 a.m., 28 Feb. 2021, Mr. X was arrested (due to murder suspect) at the hotel
near to the murder scene. According to the hotel receptionist, Mr. X was check in at 11.00 p.m., 27
Feb. 2021 and never left his room until he was arrested. If the killing time was a factor of the
charge against Mr. X, is that Mr. X is the killer in this case? Given the normal body temperature of
the human body is 37oC.
Growth Population
● One model for the growth of a population is based on the assumption that the
population grows at a rate proportional to the size of the population.
● In can be written in mathematical model as;
𝑑𝑃
=𝑘𝑃
𝑑𝑡
𝑃=𝑡h𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑡h𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛(𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒)
𝑡=𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒(𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒)
𝑘=𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦
● Sometimes this model called the law of natural growth.
● If k is positive, then the population increases; if k is negative, it decreases.
● This model also can be apply for the exponential decay.
Example:
Experiments show that a radioactive substance decompose at a rate proportional to the amount of
present. Starting with a given amount of substance, say 2 gram, at certain time, say , what can be
said about the amount available at a later time?
Example:
Half-life of morphine in the body is 2 hours. At time , a patient is given a dose of 5 mg of morphine.
How much morphine is left after 3 hours? Assume that the rate at which morphine is eliminated is
proportional to the amount of morphine left.
Example:
A population of a small town grows proportion to it’s current population. The initial population is
5000 and grow 4% per year. This can be modelled by;
𝑑𝑃
= 0.04 𝑃 , 𝑃 ( 0 ) =5000
𝑑𝑡
a) Find an equation to model the population.
b) Determine the population after 3 years.
c) Determine how long it will take the population to double.
Example:
A culture of bacteria grows proportion to it’s current population. If the initial population of 500
bacteria increases by 15% in 8 hours, what will the population be in 1 day?
