The rate at which a Mzab gundi gains weight is proportional to the difference between its adult weight and its current weight. At time t=0, when the Gundi is first weighed, its weight is 20 grams. If G(t) is the weight of the Gundi, in grams, at time t days after it is first weighed, then dtdG=501(180−G).

Explain your reasoning.(b) Find dt2d2G in terms of G. Use dt2d2G to explain why the graph of G cannot resemble the following graph.(c) Use separation of variables to find y=G(t), the particular solution to the differential equation with initial condition G(0)=20.

Calculate rate at 60g: Calculate the rate of weight gain at 60 grams using the given differential equation.dtdG=501(180−G)Substitute G=60:dtdG=501(180−60)=501(120)=2.4 grams/day
Calculate rate at 100g: Calculate the rate of weight gain at 100 grams using the same differential equation.Substitute G=100:dtdG=501(180−100)=501(80)=1.6 grams/day
Compare rates: Compare the rates of weight gain at 60 grams and 100 grams.Since 2.4 grams/day (at 60 grams) is greater than 1.6 grams/day (at 100 grams), the Gundi is gaining weight faster at 60 grams.
Use separation of variables: Use separation of variables to solve the differential equation dtdG=501(180−G). Rearrange and integrate: ∫180−GdG=∫501dt−ln∣180−G∣=50t+C
Solve for G(0)=20: Solve for G(t) using the initial condition G(0)=20. Substitute t=0 and G=20 into −ln∣180−G∣=50t+C: −ln∣180−20∣=0+C−ln∣160∣=CC=−ln(160)
Substitute C and solve for G(t): Substitute C back into the equation and solve for G(t). −ln∣180−G∣=50t−ln(160) 180−G=e(−50t+ln(160)) G=180−160e(−50t)
