1. (a) N = 10
(b) At t = 2, N = 10e0.4(2)
N = 22.3 (3 sf) Number of leopards = 22
(c) If N = 100, then solve 100 = 10e0.4t
10 = e0.4t hence ln10 = 0.4t
ln 10
t= ~ 5.76 years (3 sf)

6. (a) A = 10
ln 2
(b) 20 = 10 e 2 k ⇔ e 2 k = 2 ⇔ 2 k = ln 2 ⇔ k = = 0.347

(c) P = 10 e 0.347 t
7. (a) P0 e k = 10 and P0 e 2 k = 20 .
Divide the two relations
P0 e 2 k 20
k
= ⇔ e k = 2 ⇔ k = ln 2 (= 0.693)
P0 e 10
Hence 2 P0 = 10 ⇔ P0 = 5
8. (a) P0 e k + c = 20 , P0 e 2 k + c = 30 , P0 e 3 k + c = 50
2nd – 1st : P0 e − P0 e = 10

(c)
(d) Divide the two relations:
P0 e 3 k − P0 e 2 k 20 P0 e 2 k (e k − 1)
= ⇔ = 2 ⇔ ek = 2
P0 e − P0 e
2k k
10 P0 e (e − 1)
k k
k = ln 2 , so
P0 e 2 k − P0 e k = 10 ⇒ 4 P0 − 2 P0 = 10 ⇒ 2 P0 = 10 ⇒ P0 = 5
P0 e k + c = 20 ⇒ 10 + c = 20 ⇒ c = 10
(e) P = 5e (ln 2 ) t + 10
9. (a) P0 e k + c = 75 .50 , P0 e 2 k + c = 63 .63 , P0 e 3 k + c = 53 .90
2nd – 1st : P0 e − P0 e = −11 .87

(b)
3rd – 2nd: P0 e − P0 e = −9.73
