Solve the population dynamics Bernoulli equation ð‘¦' = 2𑦠− 3ð‘¦Â²
Added by Nicole C.
Step 1
Setting y' = 0, we get: 2y - 3y^2 = 0 Factorizing, we get: y(2 - 3y) = 0 So the equilibrium points are y = 0 and y = 2/3. Show more…

Solve the logistic differential equation representing population growth with the given initial condition. Then use the solution to predict the population size at time $t=3$. $y^{\prime}=y(1-y), y(0)=0.5$
In the study of population dynamics one of the most famous models for a growing but bounded population is the logistic equation $\frac{d P}{d t}=P(a-b P)$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive constants. Although we will come back to this equation and solve it by an alternative method in Section $3.2,$ solve the DE this first time using the fact that it is a Bernoulli equation.
