Answer
To solve the differential equation, we first rearrange it:
rac{dy}{dx} = 7
Integrating both sides, we find:
y=7x+C
Using the condition y=1 when x=7:

Answer
The acceleration is given as a=24−16. Integrating this to find the velocity:
v = 8t + C$$
Since the particle starts from rest, $v(0) = 0 \
C = 0$, hence:
v = 8t.
Now calculating velocity at $t = 3$:
$$v(3) = 8(3) = 24 \, \text{ms}^{-1}$$
For the distance:
$$s = \int_0^t v \, dt = \int_0^3 (8t) \, dt = [4t^2]_0^3 = 4(3^2) - 0 = 36 (\text{m})$$
Step 3
(b) (ii) the value of $t$ when the speed of the particle is $80$ ms$^{-1}$.

Answer
Setting the equation for velocity:
t = 10 \, \text{s}$$

Answer
Let the volume of water in the tank be V. The rate of change of volume can be described by:
dtdV=−kV
Integrating gives:
ln∣V∣=−kt+C
At t=0, V0: ln∣V0∣=C,
At t=1, V=21V0:
hence, \ln(2) = k \
k = ln(2)$$
To find the time it will take to go from $rac{1}{2}V_0$ to $rac{1}{5}V_0$:
$$ln |\frac{1}{5}| - ln |\frac{1}{2}| = -kt \
t = \frac{ln(2/5)}{\ln(2)}. \
Substituting gives approximately:
t \approx 1.22 h = 79.3 \text{minutes}$$
