(c) A biologist proposes an alternative model for the rate at which the fungus is
spreading on the wall. The total surface area of the wall is 9 m2. The surface area
that is affected at time t hours is A m2. The biologist proposes that the rate of
change of A is proportional to the product of the surface area that is affected and the
surface area that is unaffected.
