From example (2) the logistic differential equation is
.
Graph the functions
and
.
Observe the graph:
\The two functions have the same initial populations and same equilibrium positions.
\The two functions have different points of inflection.
\(d)
\The logistic differential equation :
.

Implicitly differentiate with respect to
.





.
The population will be growing fastest when
reaches to maximum.
Find the maximum value equate
to zero.
