given that x ¼ 80 when t ¼ 0 . Give your answer in the form x ¼ f ðtÞ . (6 marks)

(b) A fungus is spreading on the surface of a wall. The proportion of the wall that is
unaffected after time t hours is x%. The rate of change of x is modelled by the
differential equation
1
dx 1

dt 5

At t ¼ 0 , the proportion of the wall that is unaffected is 80%. Find the proportion
of the wall that will still be unaffected after 60 hours. (2 marks)

(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.

(i) Write down a differential equation for this model.

(You are not required to solve your differential equation.) (2 marks)

(ii) A solution of the differential equation for this model is given by

9

1 þ 4e0:09t

Find the time taken for 50% of the area of the wall to be affected. Give your answer
in hours to three significant figures. (4 marks)
