dy/dt = -0.1y
y(0) = 10
a. Use separation of variables to solve the ODE
b. At what time does y(t) = 5?
2. Consider the logistic model given by the following ODE
dy/dt = y(1-y)
y(0) = 0.1
a. Use separation of variables to rewrite the problem as an equality of two integrals
b. Use partial fractions to rewrite 1/y(1-y) as the sum of two fractions, each of which has a single factor in its denominator
c. Substitute your result for (b) into (a), and solve for y(t)
d. At what time does y(t) = 0.2? At what time does y(t) = 0.4?
