On the first day of each subsequent month he puts $10 more than in the previous month, so that he puts $510 on 1 February 2023, $520 on 1 March 2023, and so on. On what date will he first have over $10,000 in total in his safe? [3] (b) Nora puts $x on 1 January 2023 into a bank account which pays a compound interest at a rate of 0.5% per month on the last day of each month. She puts a further $x into the account on the first day of each subsequent month. Given that she does not withdraw any money from her account, find the least integer value of x for which her account will accumulate at least $50,000 on 31 December 2027.

The filtration device processes the water and discharges it at a rate proportional to the volume of water currently in it. At time t hours, the volume of water in the device is v gallons. The filtration device is initially empty. After 10 hours, the volume of water in the device is 5 gallons. (a) Find an expression for v in terms of t. [7] (b) Hence find the volume of water in the filtration device in the long run. [1] A fault in the filtration device is discovered when there are 4.5 gallons of water in the device. The device now discharges water at a rate that is equal to the square of the volume of water currently in it. (c) Write down a differential equation to model the new situation. [1] (d) Find the time (to the nearest minute) that elapsed from the moment the fault is discovered to the moment when the water in the device drops to 3 gallons. [4]
