A certain substance is formed in a chemical reaction. The mass of substance formed t seconds after the start of the reaction is x grams. At any time the rate of formation of the substance is proportional to 20-x. When t=0, x=0 and dx dt=1.

Show that x and t satisfy the differential equation dxdt=0.0520-x.

In a certain country the government charges tax on each litre of petrol sold to motorists. The revenue per year is R million dollars when the rate of tax is x dollars per litre. The variation of R with x is modelled by the differential equation dRdx=R1x-0.57,

where R and x are taken to be continuous variables. When x=0.5, R=16.8.

Solve the differential equation and obtain an expression for R in terms of x.

(Use ln16.8=2.82, ln0.5=-0.693)
