Hello everyone, I'm close to the solution but i just got hung up on some sort of algebra mistake i think.....
I'm solving a Logistics Equation, dealing with population growth/decay
All i have to do is use P(0) = Po to get C2 and then it will be solved.
Po stands for P sub o. not P*0.
I have
note: C2 is just a constant C, u get when u integrate.Code:P/(M-P) = C2 e^(mkt)
M and k are constants.
I now the solution is:
Code:P(t) = MPo/[Po + (M-Po)*e^(-kmt)]
Here is what I did,
which looks nothing like the solution...any ideas where I messed up?Code:P/(M-P) = C2*e^(mkt) P = C2*e^(mkt) (M-P) now I used P(0) = Po; Po = C2*e^(mk(0)) (M-P) C2 = Po/(M-P); Then i plugged C2 back into the orginal equation and I got P/(M-P) = [Po/(M-P)]*e^(mkt);
Thanks for listening!
