Question 4. Money flows to the new Ponzi scheme at a rate proportional to the square root of the total invested capital, i.e., Ay(t) = √yªt, where y(t) is the total capital invested and t is time. It starts at t = 0 with just $100 of total capital, i.e., y(0) = 100 a) Write down the differential equation for y(t) and specify the initial condition. b) Find y(t) c) The Ponzi scheme bubble will burst when the total investment reaches $1,000,000. When will this happen?
