14 The future performance of an investment fund is modelled by the differential equation

dx -!r

dt ,

where x billion dollars is the magnitude of the fund at time t years. Given that x = 1 when t = 0, find
x in terms of t. [5]

An alternative model of future fund performance is

d2y + 15dt
5dt1" dy + 10y = 3 cos 2t -sin 2t,

dx
of x and dt at t = ° are the samefor both models. [9]

Describe the predicted long-term performance of the fund in the caseof each model. [3]
