(choose chapter or problem)

A model for tumor growth is given by the Gompertz equation

$$\frac{d V}{d t}=a(\ln b-\ln V) V$$

where \({a}\) and \({b}\) are positive constants and \({V}\) is the volume of the tumor measured in .

(a) Find a family of solutions for tumor volume as a function of time.
(b) Find the solution that has an initial tumor volume of \(V(0)=1 \quad {mm}^{3}\).
