3. A tank, which contained water, started to leak from a hole in its base.
The volume of water in the tank 24 minutes after the leak started was 4 m3
The volume of water, V m3, in the tank t minutes after the leak started, can be described
by a linear model between V and t.
(c) Suggest a reason why this linear model may not be suitable.

13. The growth of pond weed on the surface of a pond is being investigated.
The surface area of the pond covered by the weed, A m2, can be modelled by the equation
(a) State the surface area of the pond covered by the weed at the start of the investigation.
(1)
(b) Find the rate of increase of the surface area of the pond covered by the weed, in m2/day,
exactly 5 days after the start of the investigation.
(2)
(c) find, to the nearest hour, the time taken, according to the model, for the surface of the
pond to be fully covered by the weed.
.(4)
(d) Evaluate the model in light of this information, giving a reason for your answer.
