Question A 05 |
---|
The model given below on the left has been suggested for the spread of HIV within the immune system of an infected person. is the density of healthy immune cells, is the density of HIV-infected immune cells and is the density of virus in the blood of a patient. Which of the options on the right gives a correct interpretation of some part of the model?

Make sure you understand the problem fully: What is the question asking you to do? Are there specific conditions or constraints that you should take note of? How will you know if your answer is correct from your work only? Can you rephrase the question in your own words in a way that makes sense to you? |
If you are stuck, check the hint below. Consider it for a while. Does it give you a new idea on how to approach the problem? If so, try it! |
Hint |
---|
What does it mean to have a positive/negative term in the right hand side of a differential equation? |
Checking a solution serves two purposes: helping you if, after having used the hint, you still are stuck on the problem; or if you have solved the problem and would like to check your work.

Solution 1 |
---|
Found a typo? Is this solution unclear? Let us know here.
Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. By observing the three given differential equations, we have the following interpretations
Thus the correct statement is (b). |
Solution 2 |
---|
Found a typo? Is this solution unclear? Let us know here.
Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. Another way through which this question can be solved involves analyzing the relationship between the variables of the equations.
The correct statement is therefore b). |
