Fall 2004
NAME: ID NUMBER:
INSTRUCTOR: SECTION NO:
- Do not open this exam until you are told to begin.
- This exam has 12 pages including this cover. There are 11 questions.
- Do not separate the pages of the exam. If any pages do become separated, write your name on them and point them out to your instructor when you turn in the exam.
- Please read the instructions for each individual exercise carefully. One of the skills being tested on this exam is your ability to interpret questions, so instructors will not answer questions about the problems during the exam.
- Show an appropriate amount of work for each exercise so that the graders can see not only the answer but also how you obtained it. Include units in your answers where appropriate.
- You may use your calculator. You are also allowed 2 sides of a 3 by 5 notecard.
- If you use graphs or tables to obtain an answer, be certain to provide an explanation and sketch of the graph to make clear how you arrived at your solution.
- Please turn off all cell phones and devices whose sounds might disturb your classmates. Please remove all headphones.

ANSWER :.
- (10 points) At age 65, Mrs. Smith retires with $1,000,000 in her retirement account. Assume that after retirement:
(i) She receives interest of 5% per year (compounded continuously) on the balance in the account, and this money is reinvested in the account ;
(ii) She withdraws money (for living expenses) from the account at a continuous rate of $60, per year.
(a) Write the initial value problem for the balance B(t) of dollars in the account t years after Mrs. Smith retires.
(b) Will Mrs. Smith ever exhaust the retirement account, i.e. reduce the balance in the account to zero? Explain.
(c) Are there any equilibrium solutions to the differential equation of part (a)? If so, explain their meaning in terms of Mrs. Smith’s money.
- (13 points) In normal conditions, the thyroid hormone (Hormone T), produced in the thyroid gland, and the thyroid successor hormone (Hormone S), produced in the pituitary gland, form a so-called “auto-regulated feedback process”. The amount of one in the bloodstream influences the production of the other, and vice-versa. The simple system given below models this process, where x is the amount of Hormone T (in standard units), and y is the amount of Hormone S (in standard units), present in the bloodstream at time t hours.
dx dt = 3 − y , dy dt = x − 2.
(a) Find all equilibrium solutions (if any) of the system.
(b) Suppose that at t = 0, the amount of Hormone T in the blood was 1.0 and the amount of Hormone S was 3.5, both in standard units. Find the equation of the trajectory of the corre- sponding solution curve in the phase plane. Show your work.
Problem continued on next page.
Problem continued from previous page.
If the patient’s diet lacks iodine (e.g. from salt), the chemical agent responsible for detecting the presence of Hormone S in the blood is no longer active. The above model must be replaced by the new system: dx dt = 3 − y + x ,
dy dt = x − 2 +
y 2
The slope field for the differential equation that describes the trajectories of this system is shown on the figure below.
(c) Sketch on the figure the trajectory corresponding to the initial values in part (b); that is,
x(0) = 1.0 and y(0) = 3.5. You need not solve any differential equation.
(d) In the context of this problem, briefly describe how the amounts of the hormones change from their initial values as time increases.
