Recall that the general form of a logistic equation for a population is given by P ( t ) = c 1 + a e − b t , such that the initial population at time t = 0 is P ( 0 ) = P 0 . Show algebraically that c − P ( t ) P ( t ) = c − P 0 P 0 e − b t .

2. A scientist is doing an experiment on the growth of the corona virus. He
started the experiment with 106 virus particles. After 14 days, he observed
that the number of virus particles reached 107. After a few more days, the
scientist observed that the number of virus had reached an equilibrium and
is not changing any more. That final number of virus particles was recorded
to be 10°. The scientist then assumed that the virus must follow a logistic
growth model given by the following differential equation. From these data,
determine the value of a.
Consider the following example of the logistic equation. This equation is used as a simple model for the
growth rate of a single species population, P(), that includes competition for limited resources.
