The number N(t) of supermarkets throughout the country that are using a computerized check out system is described by the initial-value problem
dN/dt =N(1-0.0008N), N(0) =1
A) use the phase portrait concept if section 2.1 to predict how many supermarkets are expected to adopt the new procedure over a long period of time
Differential Equations
B) Solve the initial -value problem and then use a
graphing utility to verify the solution curve in part A

Exercises 1. Verify equation (3) 2. Use the techniques of Section 13.7 and the fact that P(0) = 10 to solve equation (5). 3. The carrying capacity of Atlantic harp seals has been estimated to be C = 10 million seals. Let 1 = 0 correspond to the year 1980 when this seal population was estimated to be about 2 mil- lion. (Data from: Fisheries and Oceans Canada.) (a) Use a logistic growth model = kP(C - P) with k...
