Please write down your name, SID, and solutions.

Name: SID:
Problem 1. (10 points.) Let c be a positive number. A differential equation of the
form dy
dt
= ky 1+c where k is a positive constant, is called a doomsday equation.
(a) Determine the solution that satisfies the intial condition y(0) = y0 .
(b) Show that there is a finite time t = T (doomsday) such that limtT y(t) = .

(a) = n| 1+f i | 313f g| = n gw i = nw + F. Since |(0) = |0 , we have F = 0 . Thus,
gw 3f 3f
| 3f | 3f 1 |0f |0
= nw + 0 , or | 3f = |03f 3 fnw. So | f = 3f = and |(w) = .

(b) |(w) < " as 1 3 f|0f nw < 0, that is, as w < . Dene W = f . Then lim |(w) = ".

The inection points, absolute minimums, and {-intercepts all move farther from the origin as F decreases.
