7 The rate of increase in the number of coronavirus in a colony is given by the

differential equation
 11

dx
 (   ) x ,
dt
where x is the number of virus at time t (in weeks), α is the rate of reproduction, and β is
the mortality rate.

(a) Given that x  x0 at time t  0, and α and β are constants where α > β, solve
the differential equation. [6]

(b) At a certain instant, an outbreak of a disease occurs. The epidemic results in

no further reproduction and the virus die at a rate directly proportional to
1
. There were 3600 coronavirus in the colony before the outbreak of the
x
disease but only 1600 remain after 8 weeks. Determine the length of time
from the outbreak of the disease until all the coronavirus in the colony die. [9]
