7. In an experiment a scientist considered the loss of mass of a collection of picked leaves. The
mass M grams of a single leaf was measured at times t days after the leaf was picked.

The scientist attempted to find a relationship between M and t. In a preliminary model she
assumed that the rate of loss of mass was proportional to the mass M grams of the leaf.

(a) Write down a differential equation for the rate of change of mass of the leaf, using this
model.
(2)
(b) Show, by differentiation, that M = 10(0.98)t satisfies this differential equation.

Further studies implied that the mass M grams of a certain leaf satisfied a modified differential
equation

where k is a positive constant and t ≥ 0.

Given that the mass of this leaf at time t = 0 is 10 grams, and that its mass at time t = 10 is
8.5 grams,
