Question

1. a) The population of a town grows at a rate proportional to the population
present at time t. The initial population of 500 increases by 15% in 10 years.
What will be the population in 30 years?. How fast is the population growing
at t = 30?.

b) For the following population model (in billions):
dP/dt = P − 144P^2
P(0) = 7                                                                                                                                                                  Describe the behavior of P(t) as t → +∞?.
