Suppose that a room containing 1300 cubic feet of air is originally free of carbon monoxide (CO). Beginning
at time t = 0, cigarette smoke containing 4% CO is introduced into the room at a rate of 0.8 cubic feet per
minute. The well-circulated smoke and air mixture is allowed to leave the room at the same rate.
Let A(t) represent the amount of CO in the room (in cubic feet) after t minutes.
(A) Write the DE model for the time rate of change of CO in the room. Also state the initial condition.
