Initially the tank contains 10 litres of water.
The rate of flow of the water is modelled so that
  • there are \(V\) litres of water in the tank at time \(t\) minutes after the water begins to flow
  • water enters the tank at a rate of \(\left( 3 - \frac { 4 } { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { 0.8 t } } \right)\) litres per minute

  1. A colony of small mammals is being studied.
In the study, the mammals are divided into 3 categories
\(N\) (newborns)0 to less than 1 month old
\(J\) (juveniles)1 to 3 months old
\(B\) (breeders)over 3 months old
(a) State one limitation of the model regarding the division into these categories. A model for the population of the colony is given by the matrix equation $$\left( \begin{array} { l } N _ { n + 1 }
J _ { n + 1 }
B _ { n + 1 } \end{array} \right) = \left( \begin{array} { c c c } 0 & 0 & 2
a & b & 0
0 & 0.48 & 0.96 \end{array} \right) \left( \begin{array} { l } N _ { n }
J _ { n }
B _ { n } \end{array} \right)$$ where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants, and \(N _ { n } , J _ { n }\) and \(B _ { n }\) are the respective numbers of the mammals in each category \(n\) months after the start of the study. At the start of the study the colony has breeders only, with no newborns or juveniles.
According to the model, after 2 months the number of newborns is 48 and the number of juveniles is 40
(b) (i) Determine the number of mammals in the colony at the start of the study.
(ii) Show that \(a = 0.8\)
(c) Determine, in terms of \(b\), $$\left( \begin{array} { c c c } 0 & 0 & 2
0.8 & b & 0
0 & 0.48 & 0.96 \end{array} \right) ^ { - 1 }$$ Given that the model predicts approximately 1015 mammals in total at the start of a particular month, and approximately 596 newborns, 464 juveniles and 437 breeders at the start of the next month,
(d) determine the value of \(b\), giving your answer to 2 decimal places. It is decided to monitor the number of newborn males and females as a part of the study. Assuming that \(42 \%\) of newborns are male,
(e) refine the matrix equation for the model to reflect this information, giving a reason for your answer.
(There is no need to estimate any unknown values for the refined model, but any known values should be made clear.)
