A population of insects is allowed to grow in an experimental environment. The rate of birth of the insects is proportional to the number (in thousands) of insects, x, at time t days after the start of the experiment. The insects died at a constant rate of 0.3 per day. Given that initially x = 5 and it is decreasing at a rate of 0.1. Show that the differential equation relating x and t is dx = 0.04 x 0.3 . dt [2] [4]

Hence, solve the differential equation, expressing x in terms of t.

With the help of a graph, explain why it is possible for the insects to be extinct in the experimental environment after some time. Find the duration for this to happen, giving your answer to 1 decimal place. [2]
