The logistic equation for the population (in thousands) of a certain species is given by .
猞� Sketch the direction field by using either a computer software package or the method of isoclines.
猞� If the initial population is 3000 [that is, p(0) = 3], what can you say about the limiting population?
猞� If , what is ?
猞� Can a population of 2000 ever decline to 800?
Spring Pendulum.Let a mass be attached to one end of a spring with spring constant kand the other end attached to the ceiling. Let be the natural length of the spring, and let l(t) be its length at time t. If is the angle between the pendulum and the vertical, then the motion of the spring pendulum is governed by the system
Assume g = 1, k = m = 1, and = 4. When the system is at rest, .
a. Describe the motion of the pendulum when .
b. When the pendulum is both stretched and given an angular displacement, the motion of the pendulum is more complicated. Using the Runge鈥揔utta algorithm for systems with h = 0.1 to approximate the solution, sketch the graphs of the length l and the angular displacement u on the interval [0,10] if .
In Problems 10鈥�13, use the vectorized Euler method with h = 0.25 to find an approximation for the solution to the given initial value problem on the specified interval.
Consider the differential equation
猞� A solution curve passes through the point . What is its slope at this point?
猞� Argue that every solution curve is increasing for .
猞� Show that the second derivative of every solution satisfies
猞� A solution curve passes through (0,0). Prove that this curve has a relative minimum at (0,0).
Newton鈥檚 law of cooling states that the rate of change in the temperature T(t) of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the medium M(t) and the temperature of the body. That is, where K is a constant. Let and the temperature of the medium be constant, . If the body is initially at 360 kelvins, use Euler鈥檚 method with h = 3.0 min to approximate the temperature of the body after
(a) 30 minutes.
(b) 60 minutes.
