  1. \(t\)01020
    \(X\)275440
    The quantity \(X\) is increasing exponentially with respect to time \(t\). The table above shows values of \(X\) for different values of \(t\). Find the value of \(X\) when \(t = 20\).
  2. The quantity \(Y\) is decreasing exponentially with respect to time \(t\) where $$Y = 80 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0.02 t }$$
    1. Find the value of \(t\) for which \(Y = 20\), giving your answer correct to 2 significant figures.
    2. Find by differentiation the rate at which \(Y\) is decreasing when \(t = 30\), giving your answer correct to 2 significant figures.
