In a model of epidemics, let , in thousands, be the number of infected individuals in the
population at time , in days. If we assume that the infection spreads to all those who are
susceptible, one possible solution for is given by where 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 .(b) Discuss what means.(c) As the time increases without bound, what happens to ? (That is, what does mean?)
