Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns to an isolated college campus of 7000 students. Determine a differential equation governing the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between students with the flu and students who have not yet contracted it. (Use k>0, for the constant of proportionality and x for x(t))

A corporation maintains a balance of B(t) (in millions of dollars) in an account, where t is measured in years. Interest with a nominal annual rate of 2% compounds continuously (that is, the rate at which interest is added to the account is proportional to B with proportionality constant 0.02 year −1 ). In addition, the corporation continuously withdraws money from the account at a rate of 4 million dollars per year. (a) Write a differential equation for the balance B(t). (b) Find all solutions to your differential equation. (c) Suppose that B(0) = 300. Determine limt→∞ B(t) and interpret your result. (d) Suppose instead that B(0) = 100. When will the account be empty?

For high-speed motion through the air - such as a skydiver shown in the figure, falling before the parachute is opened - air resistance is close to a power of the instantaneous velocity v(t). Determine a differential equation for the velocity v(t) of a falling body of mass m if air resistance is proportional to the square of the instantaneous velocity. Assume the downward direction is positive. (Use k > 0 for the constant of proportionality, g > 0 for acceleration due to gravity, and v for v(t).) dv/dt

Assume that in the absence of immigration and emigration, the growth of a country's population P(t) satisfies dP/dt = kP for some constant k > 0 (see Equation (1) of Section 1.3). Determine a differential equation governing the growing population P(t) of the country when individuals are allowed to immigrate into the country at a constant rate r > 0. (Use P for P(t).) dP dt What is the differential equation for the population P(t) of the country when individuals are allowed to emigrate at a constant rate r > 0?
