(choose chapter or problem)

Another equation that has been used to model population growth is the Gompertz14 equation dy/dt = ry ln(K/y), where r and K are positive constants. (a) Sketch the graph of f(y) versus y, find the critical points, and determine whether each is asymptotically stable or unstable. (b) For 0 y K, determine where the graph of y versus t is concave up and where it is concave down. (c) For each y in 0 < y K, show that dy/dt as given by the Gompertz equation is never less than dy/dt as given by the logistic equation.
