ANTIDERIVATIVES AND DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
minutes
The derivative is considered as the rate of change of a function. For
𝑑𝑦
example, if we get the derivative of the function 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 1 to obtain 𝑑𝑥 =
3𝑥 2 , we are describing the rate of change of y with respect to x. If instead we
𝑑𝑦
are given the equation, 𝑑𝑥 = 4𝑥 + 5, we can work backward from the
𝑑𝑦
derivative to the original function by antidifferentiation. The equations, =
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦
3𝑥 2 and 𝑑𝑥 = 4𝑥 + 5 , are examples of differential equation.
A differential equation (DE) is an equation which gives information
about the rate of change of an unknown function. The simplest kind of
𝑑𝑦
differential equation has the form = 𝑓(𝑥).
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑦
The general solution of the equation 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑓(𝑥) is 𝑦 = ∫ 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 and
where ∫ 𝑓 (𝑥)𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹 (𝑥) + 𝐶 with 𝐹 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥). This is a set of solutions
which belong to a family of functions or relations. To find the particular
solution of a differential equation, we determine the value of C by using a
point on a curve. You may recall the process of finding the general and
particular antiderivatives of a function in Problems Involving Antiderivatives
(Week 3 LeaP, pp.9-10).

Here, the left-hand side of the equation is the quotient of differentials while
the right-hand side is the quotient of two functions where 𝑔(𝑦) is a
continuous function of 𝑦 alone and 𝑓(𝑥) is a continuous function of 𝑥 alone.
To solve the differential equation, we use the method of separation of
variables.
𝑔(𝑦)𝑑𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥
In this form, all terms involving 𝑦 (including 𝑑𝑦) are on one side of the
equation, and all terms involving 𝑥 (and 𝑑𝑥) are on the other side. Such a
differential equation is said to be separable, since the variables can be
separated.

The exponential growth law includes both the case where y is increasing and
𝑑𝑦
the case where y is decreasing or decaying. The differential equation = 𝑘𝑦
𝑑𝑡
is a separable differential equation and always leads to exponential growth
(if k > 0) or exponential decay (if k < 0).

𝒅𝒚
Hence, the general solution to 𝒅𝒕 = 𝒌𝒚 is 𝒚 = 𝑪𝒆𝒌𝒕 where C is a
nonzero constant.
The equation 𝒚 = 𝑪𝒆𝒌𝒕 is a family of solutions and is a formula in
solving problems involving exponential growth and decay.
POPULATION GROWTH
Consider the human population of a region. If there is no emigration or
immigration, the rate at which the population is changing is often proportional
to the population. The larger the population, the faster it is growing.
In the absence of inhibiting conditions, a population 𝑦 (which might be
human, animal, etc) grows in such a way that the rate of change of population
y is proportional to the population at time 𝑡 ; that is, there is a constant k such
that
𝑑𝑦
= 𝑘𝑦
𝑑𝑡
The constant 𝑘 is called the growth rate of constant.
Based on the obtained solution of the given differential equation, the
population 𝑦 at time 𝑡 is given by 𝑦 = 𝐶𝑒 𝑘𝑡 or 𝒚 = 𝒚𝟎 𝒆𝒌𝒕 , where 𝑦0 is the
initial population, that is , at t = 0.
Sample Problem 1:
Initially, there are 5 million bacteria present in a petri dish. After 2 minutes,
there are already 20 million of them. If the bacterial population follows a law
of natural growth, how many bacteria should be present in the petri dish after
5 minutes?
Given:
Initial population is 5 million. (𝑦0 = 5)
Population is 20 million after 2 minutes. (𝑦 = 20 when 𝑡 = 2)
Required: population of bacteria after 5 minutes (𝑦 =? when 𝑡 = 5)
General Equation/Formula: 𝑦 = 𝑦0 𝑒 𝑘𝑡
Plan: Rewrite the formula so that only y and t are unknown, then use
the derived formula to solve for y given t = 5.
Workings:
𝑦 = 5𝑒 𝑘𝑡 Substitute 𝑦0 = 5 into 𝑦 = 𝑦0 𝑒 𝑘𝑡 .
20 = 5𝑒 2𝑘 Substitute 𝑦 = 20 when 𝑡 = 2.
4 = 𝑒 2𝑘 Divide both sides by 5.

𝑦 = 5(2)𝑡 2
Substitute 𝑒 𝑘 = 2 into 𝑦 = 5(𝑒 𝑘 ) .
𝑦 = 5(2)5 = 160 Solve for 𝑦 when 𝑡 = 5.
Answer: Hence, there should be 160 million bacteria after 5 minutes.
Sample Problem 2:
Suppose that a colony of lice grows exponentially. After 1 day, 50 lice are
counted. After 3 days, 200 are counted. How many are there originally? What
is the exponential growth equation for the colony?
Given:
Population is 50 after 1 day . (𝑦 = 50 when 𝑡 = 1)
Population is 200 after 3 days. (𝑦 = 200 when 𝑡 = 3)
𝑒𝑘 = 2
(eq.1) 50 = 𝑦0 𝑒 𝑘 Solve for 𝑦0 using eq.1 and 𝑒 𝑘 = 2
50 = 𝑦0 (2)
𝑦0 = 25
𝑦 = 25(2)𝑡 Write the particular equation with the obtained
values of 𝑦0 and 𝑒 𝑘 .
Answer: The initial lice population 𝒚𝟎 is 25. The particular
exponential growth equation for the lice colony is 𝒚 = 𝟐𝟓(𝟐)𝒕.

radium present. If the half-life of radium is 1690 years and there are 200
grams on hand now, how much radium will be present in 845 years?
Given:

EXTENSION/ENRICHMENT
BOUNDED OR LIMITED GROWTH
𝑑𝑦
As model of population growth, the equations 𝑑𝑡 = 𝑘𝑦 and 𝑦 = 𝑦0 𝑒 𝑘𝑡
are not realistic over the long run for most populations. Populations cannot
really grow without bound. Additional factors such as space restrictions or a
limited amount of food, tend to inhibit the growth of populations as time goes
on.
The limiting quantity or upper bound is sometimes referred to as the
carrying capacity, and researchers measure the difference between the actual
population and this limiting capacity. If the carrying capacity is given by a
positive constant, N, the rate of change of y with respect to time t is
proportional to the difference (N – y). This type of growth is called bounded or
limited growth.
