  1. The change of temperature of a cup of
    coffee measured in degrees Fahrenheit in a
    certain room is represented by the function
    f(t)=−cos


(

)
for 0≤t≤5, wheretis
measured in minutes. If the temperature of
the coffee is initially 92◦F, find its
temperature after the first 5 minutes.


  1. If thehalf-lifeof a radioactive element is
    4500 years, and initially there are 100 grams
    of this element, approximately how many
    grams are left after 5000 years?

  2. Find a solution of the differential equation:

    particle on a straight line is given by
    a(t)= 3 e^2 t, wheretis measured in seconds,
    and the initial velocity is

. Find the
displacement and total distance traveled by
the particle in the first 3 seconds.
15. The sales of an item in a company follow an
exponential growth/decay model, wheretis
measured in months. If the sales drop from
5000 units in the first month to 4000 units
in the third month, how many units should
the company expect to sell during the
seventh month?
16. Find an equation of the curve that has a


slope of
2 y

at the point (x,y) and passes
through the point (0, 4).


  1. The population in a city was approximately
    750,000 in 1980, and grew at a rate of
    3% per year. If the population growth
    followed an exponential growth model, find
    the city’s population in the year 2002.

  2. Find a solution of the differential equation
    4 ey=y′− 3 xeyandy(0)=0.

  3. How much money should a person invest at
    6.25% interest compounded continuously
    so that the person will have $50,000 after
    10 years?

  4. The velocity function of a moving particle is
    given asv(t)= 2 − 6 e−t,t≥0 andtis
    measured in seconds. Find the total distance
    traveled by the particle during the first
    10 seconds.

for the population at timet, and use it to
predict when more than half the people in
the office will have heard the rumor.


  1. A college dormitory that houses 200
    students experiences an outbreak of
    influenza. The illness is recognized when
    two students are diagnosed on the same day.
    The residents are quarantined to restrict the
    infection to this one building. On the fifth
    day of the outbreak, 12 students are ill. Use
    a logistic model to describe the course of
    infection and predict the number of
    infected students on day 10.

  2. Use Euler’s Method with a step size of
    Δx= 0 .1 to computey(.5) ify(x)isthe
