(choose chapter or problem)

Dead leaves accumulate on the ground in a forest at arate of 3 grams per square centimeter per year. At thesame time, these leaves decompose at a continuous rateof 75% per year. Write a differential equation for the totalquantity of dead leaves (per square centimeter) at time t.Sketch a solution showing that the quantity of dead leavestends toward an equilibrium level. What is that equilibriumlevel?
