The population of a certain species of bacteria is dependent on the amount of dead matter.
The population can be modelled by the formula P = 500 + ln [(2x + 7)3 + 1], where P is
the population size in thousands and x is the amount of dead matter in grams.
(a) Find the initial size of the population.

[2]

(b) Given that the rate of change of the population size is 30 000 per unit time, find the
rate of change of the amount of dead matter when x = 20.
