JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 9. differential equations

The population \(P = P ( t )\) at time \({ }^{\prime} t ^{\prime}\) of a certain species follows the differential equation \(\frac{ dP }{ dt }=0.5 P -450 .\) If \(P (0)=850,\) then the time at which population becomes zero is

  1. A \(\log _{ e } 18\)
  2. B \(\log _{ e } 9\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2} \log _{ e } 18\)
  4. D \(2 \log _{ e } 18\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \log _{ e } 18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{ dP }{ dt }=0.5 P -450\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \int_{0}^{ t } \frac{ dp }{ P -900}=\int_{0}^{ t } \frac{ dt }{2}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad[\ell n | P ( t )-900|]_{0}^{ t }=\left[\frac{ t }{2}\right]_{0}^{ t }\)…
