Due: 5 pm, Wednesday, 30 January 2019

Instructions: You are welcome to type your assignment but otherwise it must be neatly hand
written. Submit your assignment directly to me during class. Answer ALL Questions. This
assignment carries 5% of your overall course mark. Maximum mark is 50.

WARNING!! I strongly advise you to read the part of the Course Outline which clearly states the
University policy on plagiarism and copying. As such, I do not tolerate giving zeros to both giver(s)
and taker(s) when I come across any indication of copying! You are allowed and I encourage you to
discuss the questions with your fellow students but what you submit must be your own work expressed
in your own words. This is a group assignment where each group must contain 3 students. I will not
accept any group containing less than 3 students.

2. Let I = dx.
1 x
(a) Use trapezoid rule to estimate I with n = 10.
(b) How many subintervals are required to guarantee that the error will be less than
0.00005 in the approximation of I in part (i) by trapezoid rule?
(c) Use Simpson’s rule to estimate I with n = 10.
(d) How many subintervals are required to ensure accuracy to within 0.00005 in the
approximation in part (iii) of I by Simpson’s rule?

4. (a) The population P(t) of a bacterial colony t hours after observation begins is found
to be changing at the rate

dP
= 200e0.1t + 150e−0.03t .
dt
Find the general solution P(t).
(b) If the population was 200, 000 bacteria when observation began, what will be the
population be 12 hours later?
