The variables x and t satisfy the differential equation \(5 \frac{dx}{dt} = (20-x)(40-x)\). It is given that \(x = 10\) when \(t = 0\).
(i) Using partial fractions, solve the differential equation, obtaining an expression for x in terms of t.
(ii) State what happens to the value of x when t becomes large.
