A. Paper 1 questions (SHORT)

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)
0.4
ln 2
(d) t= ( = 1.73 years)
0.4

2. (a) p = 100e0 = 100

(b) 200 = 100e0.05t,, so 2 = e0.05t


ln2 = 0.05t
t = ln2/ 0.05=13.9

3. (a) Initial mass ⇒ t = 0, mass = 4


(b) 1.5 = 4e–0.2t (or 0.375 = e–0.2t)
ln 0.375 = –0.2t
t = 4.90 hours
(c) When m = 2 (half of the initial value)
ln 0.5
t= ( = 3.47 years)
− 0.2

4. 10 000e− 0.3t = 1500


Taking logarithms − 0.3t ln e = ln 0.15
ln 0.15
t= = 6.32 7 (years)
− 0.3
Note: You may use a graphical method.

5. (a) 1 = (1/e)e5k , so e = e5k so 5k=1 so k = 0.2


1 0.2t ln 100 + 1
(b) 100 = e t= (= 28.0)
e 0.2

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

(b) P = 5e 0.693 t [OR P = 5e (ln 2 ) t = 5 × 2 t ]

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
2k k
(b)
3rd – 2nd: P0 e − P0 e = 20
3k 2k
(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
2k k
(b)
3rd – 2nd: P0 e − P0 e = −9.73
3k 2k

Divide the two relations:

P0 e 3 k − P0 e 2 k − 9.73 P0 e 2 k (e k − 1)
= ⇔ = 0.81971 ⇔ e k = 0.81971
P0 e − P0 e
2k k
− 11.87 P0 e (e − 1)
k k

k = 0.19880 , so k = −0.2 to 1dp

(c) P0 e 2 k − P0 e k = −11 .87 ⇒ P0 e −0.4 − P0 e −.02 = −11 .87


⇒ P0 = 80

P0 e −0.2 + c = 75 .50 ⇒ 80 e −0.2 + c = 75 .50 ⇒ 80 e −0.2 + c = 75 .50


⇒ c = 10

(d) P = 80 e ( −0.2 t + 10
