Consider the growth of a population . It starts out with . Suppose the growth is unchecked, and hence for some constant .

Then .

Of course populations don't grow forever. Let's say there is a stable population size that approaches as time passes. Thus the speed at which the population is growing will approach zero as the population size approaches . One way to model this is via the differential equation The solution of this initial value problem is .
Hint: Proceed as in the last problem.
