Explain solution RD Sharma class 12 chapter Differential Equations exercise 21.11 question 4 maths
Answer:
Given: Present bacteria count
To find: The amount of hours taken for the count to reach
Hint: Use and then find the value of lambda using integration.
Solution: The bacteria count is and rate of increase in hours
Let be the bacteria count at any time ,
Then
[Where is the constant]
Integrating on both sides
Where is integral constant
At we have
Then [putting and in equation (i)]
From equation (i) we have,
Now, subtracting equation (ii) from (iii) we have
Now, we have to find time in which the count reaches
Putting value of lambda and , we get
Hence, the time required hours
