1. Verify that y(x) is a solution to the given D.E. .

Then determine the value of the

constant C so that y(x) satisfies the given initial conditions.

2. The population of a city increases at a rate proportional to the number of its

inhabitants present at any time t . If the population of the city was 30,000 in 1980,
and 35,000 in 1990, what will be the population of the city in 2018?
[ Hint: You need to set up the D.E. model first, and then solve it. Use t = 0 for 1980]
