Question 87

Essay

In a model of epidemics, let y(t)y ( t ) , in thousands, be the number of infected individuals in the
population at time tt , in days. If we assume that the infection spreads to all those who are
susceptible, one possible solution for y(t)y ( t ) is given by dydt=k(py)y\frac { d y } { d t } = k ( p - y ) \cdot y where kk is a positive
constant which measures the rate of infection and P , in thousands, is the total population in
this situation.(a) Determine the solution of this differential equation if y(0)=1y ( 0 ) = 1 .(b) Discuss what y(0)=1y ( 0 ) = 1 means.(c) As the time increases without bound, what happens to yy ? (That is, what does limty\lim _ { t \rightarrow \infty } y mean?)
(d) Sketch the solution of the differential equation in part (a).
