Math 30: Unit 3 Exam

Fall Semester 2006

  1. (8 points) You model the population P of cells growing in culture as a function of time by the equation dP dt

= 0.1P.

At time t = 1, we count 100 cells. Give a formula for the number of cells at t = 0.

  1. (8 points) For a function f (x), its two-term Taylor approximation about x = x 0 is given by

f (x) ≈ f (x 0 ) + (x − x 0 ) f ′(x 0 ) +

f ′′(x 0 ) +

f ′′′(x 0 ) + · · ·.

Find the two non-zero terms of the Taylor approximation for f (x) = e−x^ about x = 0.

  1. (8 points) Consider the differential equation

du dt

= f (u)

with the graph of f (u) given below.

u

f(u)

u 0

Analyze this differential equation graphically. Identify, label and classify all of its equilib- rium points directly on the graph above. Using that information, describe the long-time behavior of the solution when u( 0 ) = u 0.
