5 8 A piece of meat is taken from an oven when it reaches a temperature of 20 C and put in a refrigerator where the temperature is set to a constant value of 20 C . The rate of cooling in t minutes is proportional to the difference between the body temperature FC and its immediate surrounding temperature. It was observed that the meat cools to 10 C in 10 minutes. (i) By forming and solving a differential equation, show that 10140 204 t F . [6] (ii) How many more minutes are required for the meat to cool further to 15 C ? [2] 9 A hamster farm has 500 hamsters to sell. The farmer sells k hamsters at the end of every week , where k is a constant factor of 500 (e.g. 5, 100, etc.). The selling price of a hamster is $10 in the first week and it drops by 5% in each subsequent week. It is assumed that there is neither birth nor death of hamsters in the farm. (i) State the total number of weeks for the farmer to sell all his hamsters in terms of k . [1] (ii) Show that the total proceeds from selling all the hamsters is 500 200 1 0.95 kk .

[3] (iv) If all other costs are negligible, find the least value of k for the farmer to make a profit. [2] [Turn over
