Biologists stocked a lake with 400 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 10, 000. The number of fish tripled in the first year. (a) Assuming that the size of the fish population satisfies the logistic equation, find an expression for the size of the population after t years. (b) How long will it take for the population to increase to 5000?

Differential Equations

Have you ever observed the movement of the satellites and rockets or how the planets go around the sun in their orbits? How will you determine their motion? Definitely they follow some scientific laws and these kinds of problems are framed as differential equations.
