Applications and Extensions
Uninhibited Growth The population of a colony of mosquitoes obeys the uninhibited growth equation \(\dfrac{dN}{dt}=kN\). If there are \(1500\) mosquitoes initially, and there are \(2500\) mosquitoes after 24 h, what is the mosquito population after 3 days?
Radioactive Decay A radioactive substance follows the decay equation \(\dfrac{{\it dA}}{dt}=kA.\) If 25% of the substance disappears in 10 years, what is its half-life?
Population Growth The population of a suburb grows at a rate proportional to the population. Suppose the population doubles in size from \(4000\) to \(8000\) in an \(18\)-month period and continues at the current rate of growth.
Uninhibited Growth At any time \(t\) in hours, the rate of increase in the area, in millimeters squared (mm2), of a culture of bacteria is twice the area \(A\) of the culture.

Radioactive Decay The amount \(A\) of the radioactive element radium in a sample decays at a rate proportional to the amount of radium present. The half-life of radium is \(1690\) years.
Radioactive Decay Carbon-14 is a radioactive element present in living organisms. After an organism dies, the amount \(A\) of carbon-14 present begins to decline at a rate proportional to the amount present at the time of death. The half-life of carbon-14 is \(5730\) years.
World Population Growth Barring disasters (human-made or natural), the population \(P\) of humans grows at a rate proportional to itself current size. According to the U.N. World Population studies, from 2005 to 2010 the population of the more developed regions of the world (Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan) grew at an annual rate of \(0.409\%\) per year.

Oetzi the Iceman was found in 1991 by a German couple who were hiking in the Alps near the border of Austria and Italy. Carbon-14 testing determined that Oetzi died 5300 years ago. Assuming the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, what percent of carbon-14 was left in his body? (An interesting note: In September 2010 the complete genome mapping of Oetzi was completed.)
Uninhibited Decay Radioactive beryllium is sometimes used to date fossils found in deep-sea sediments. (Carbon-14 dating cannot be used for fossils that lived underwater.)
