4. Find the solution of the differential equation 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 𝑦ln𝑥, where 𝑥 > 0 and 𝑦 > 0, which
satisfies the condition 𝑦 = 1 when 𝑥 = 1. [7]
8. The rate of change of percentage for the population of the black beetles with respect to time, 𝑡, is
given by
dy
= 𝑘(2 − 3𝑦 + 𝑦 )
dx
where 𝑦 is the percentage of the population of the black beetles. Initially, 50% of the population is
black beetles. Research shows that in the fourth year, the population of the black beetles increases
to 80%.
(a) Find the value of 𝑘. [8]
Hence, obtain a relationship between 𝑦 and 𝑡. [2]
(b) Determine the percentage of the black beetles in the 10 year. [3]
(c) Will the population of the black beetles reach 100%? Give your reason. [2]
