Question: Problem 2 ( Lake pollution ) Euler's Method A polluted lake has an initial concentration of a bacteria of 1 0 7 p p m

Problem 2(Lake pollution)
Euler's Method
A polluted lake has an initial concentration of a bacteria of 107ppm, while the acceptable level is only 0.5x106ppm. The concentration of the bacteria reduces over time at a rate (R) of 0.04ppm? day and is also impacted as fresh water enters the lake. The differential equation that governs the concentration C of the pollutant as a function of time (in days) is given by
dCdt=-C(R+0.06)
Using Euler's method, find the concentration of the pollutant after 12 weeks. Is the concentration of bacteria under the acceptable limit at the end of 4 weeks? Provide appropriate plot(s) to support your results.
Hint:
For explanation about Euler's method, go through the Week 8 Lecture Video.
Deliverables:
One completed project write-up per team (the worksheet with the 5 problem-solving steps)
The problem-solving steps 1-3 for problem 1&2 should be shown to your ULA at the end of Lab 7A.
One MATLAB script per team showing your work with clearly labeled and commented solutions.
All submissions must be done via D2L drop box, which can be found in the Assessments and then Assignments. All your work is due before the beginning of Lab 8A.
