40. A certain population is growing at the uniform rate of 3% when time is measured in years (with the growth rate always proportional to the population size). In 1998 the population was 500. What will it be in 2005?
41. Consider the same population as in the problem above but use a discrete model. (In other words the population increase is computed once a year using a 3% rate.) Assume again that the population size was 500 in 1998 and determine the population in 2005.
42. Suppose a certain radioactive element is decaying exponentially with a half time equal to 1000 years. How long will it take for 75% of the original amount to be lost?
