    Logistic growth, population, limits

    Obviously i don't know the formula dx/dt= kx(1- x/A) that well.. My professor told me all i have to do is factor out the 1/200 from M/200, which makes (200-M). The number in front is the limit. I wonder can someone give me some extra explanation on that. Thank you .

    Logistic growth, population, limits

    I understand the concept, but the answer key i have shows that a specific integral is the answer. Which mean the answer cannot be 'increasing toward infinity' or things like that. I wonder if anyone can list the steps how to get that specific number. Appreciate any help.

    Logistic growth, population, limits

    The number of bacteria in a lab is model by the function M that satisfies the logistic differential equation dM/dt = 0.6M (1 - (M/200) ), where t is the time in days and M(0) = 50. What is the limit of M(t) as t approach infinity? Do i use the fundamental theorem of calculus?

    How Do You Calculate the Velocity Vector When a Particle's Position is x=25?

    A particle moves in the xy-plane so that the position of the particle is given by x(t)=5t+3sint , y(t)=(8-t)(1-cost) Find the velocity vector at the time when the particle's horizontal position is x=25 answer is (7.008, -2.228) *the x=25, i think the trick is somehow get the t with that..
