2. A simple mathematical model in epidemiology for the spread of a disease assumes that the rate at which the disease spreads is jointly proportional to the number of infected people and the number of uninfected people. Suppose that there are a total of N people in the population, of whom No are infected initially. Show that the number of infected people after t weeks, x(t), is given by a) x(t) = N- No 1+ -kNt No where k is a nositive constant
