Textbook Solutions for Elementary Differential Equations

Chapter 1 Problem 1.7.38

Question

Fit the logistic equation to the actual U.S. population data (Fig. 1.7.4) for the years 1900, 1930, and 1960. Solve the resulting logistic equation, then compare the predicted and actual populations for the years 1980, 1990, and 2000.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 1 problem number 38 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Fit the logistic equation to the actual U.S. population data (Fig. 1.7.4) for the years 1900, 1930, and 1960. Solve the resulting logistic equation, then compare the predicted and actual populations for the years 1980, 1990, and 2000.
From the textbook chapter First-Order Differential Equations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
