Solve the following question:

10 The number of birds of a certain species in a forested region is recorded over several years. At time
t years, the number of birds is N, where N is treated as a continuous variable. The variation in the
number of birds is modelled by
dN
dt
=
N(1800 − N)
3600
.
It is given that N = 300 when t = 0.
(i) Find an expression for N in terms of t. [9]

I can't seem to decompose the fraction into its partial fractions correctly.

Anyone?

I have also told you the answer to part (iii). Read what I said again. In part (ii), you're finding the displacement but in part (iii) you need to find the total distance.
Please help me with the following AP questions :
1. Find the sum of all integers from 1 to 200 that are divisible by 7.
2. Find the sum of all integers from 1 to 200 inclusive that are not multiples of 5.
3. Find the sum of all multiples of 5 between 100 and 300 inclusive.
4. In a arithmetic progression of 25 terms, the 10th term is 23 and that the sum of the last 10 terms is 440. find the sum of the first 10 terms.

Thank You :)

MJ06 P3 Q2 i know how to solve it, but i just don't get how we decide on the value of x to be taken in the end. Can someone help me ASAP.

bcoz the right hand result will always be postive. So if value x < -1 is substituted, it will not satify the equation given.
For ex, x = -2
-4 > │-3│
│-3│ is considered as 3. So its not acceptable

So do we always subsitute values to decide on which x to take? Because I've asked so many people and everyone's given me different methods that don't work for all the questions. so i really need a method that works with everything

On the safer side, just substitute ur answer to the given question to verify ur answer. I use this method...
