5 Two groups of chimpanzees engage in a battle over territory. The number of chimpanzees in the
defending population is A and it depends on the number of the attacking population B according to
Lanchester’s law (M. Wilson et al. Chimpanzees and the mathematics of battle, Proc. R. Soc. Lond.
B (2002) 269, 1107-1112)
dA B
= .
dB A
At the beginning of their battle, the populations of the groups are related by A(40) = 60.
p
The solution to this ODE is given by A(B) = B 2 + 2000.
If we estimate A(B) by using Euler’s method with step size ∆B = 1, when the population B is
reduced by 3 chimpanzees, Euler’s method...
(A) will yield an over-estimate for A, because the solution A(B) is concave down.
(B) will yield an under-estimate for A, because the solution A(B) is concave down.
(C) will yield an over-estimate for A, because the solution A(B) is concave up.
(D) will yield an under-estimate for A, because the solution A(B) is concave up.
Q (E) cannot be trusted, because as a consequence of a fight both populations are decreasing.

She suspects something strange is happening, since WolframAlpha doesn’t solve the first (easier) one,
but solves the second (harder) one, so she tries plotting the WolframAlpha solution on Desmos and
gets the following:
The solution doesn’t satisfy the initial condition. So how can Mildred adapt the WolframAlpha
solution? What is the solution to the differential equation with the given initial condition?

13 On an evening in late March, the body of Mr. X was found in his estate. It appeared that he had been
murdered. The victim was poisoned with ricin and police officers are calling on your mathematical
expertise to determine how the drug was administered. They have narrowed it down to two theories.
(1) Theory 1. Suppose that Mr. X was given 30 mg of ricin, and that the body eliminates the drug
at a rate of r(t) = e0.001t mg/hour, where t is hours after the administration of the drug. Find
(but don’t evaluate) a formula for the amount of drug in Mr. X’s body T hours after the drug was
administered. 30
(2) Theory 2. Suppose that Mr.
I at
X was being given a 10 mg dosage of ricin once per day in his
afternoon tea for a long time. Let Sn be the total amount of ricin in Mr. X’s body after n days of
taking it daily, immediately after the most recent dose. If 90 % of the amount of ricin is eliminated
from the body each day, write an expression for Sn .
