10 4 In an experiment to study the spread of a soil disease, an area of 10m? of soil was exposed to infection. In a simple model, it is assumed that the infected area grows at a rate which is proportional to the product of the infected area and the uninfected area. Initially, 5 m? was infected and the rate of growth of the infected area was 0.1 m? per day. At time ¢ days after the start of the experiment, an area am/ is infected and an area (10 — a) m? is uninfected. (i) Show that e = 0.004a(10 — a).
