The growth of a certain type of weed satisfies a differential equation of the following form, where a is the height of the weed at maturity: dy = ky (a - y) dt Thus we know that the height, y(t), of the weed after t days have passed is given by the following equation: a y(t) = 1+ Be-akt If a typical weed has height 10 centimeters after 7 days, height 50 centimeters after 22 days, and reaches height 54 centimeters at maturity, find the values of the constants B and k (correct to at least 4 decimal places). B = k =

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.
