11 A particular radioactive substance decays over time.
A scientist models the amount of substance, \(x\) grams, at time \(t\) hours by the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t } + \frac { 1 } { 10 } x = \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.1 t } \cos t .$$

  2. Find the particular solution of the differential equation.
  3. Find to 6 significant figures the amount of substance that would be predicted by the model at
    (a) 6 hours,
    (b) 6.25 hours.
  4. Comment on the appropriateness of the model for predicting the amount of substance over time. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}
