61. Under certain circumstances a rumor spreads according to
the equation
_n6
16
p(t) =
NOV
20
=
1
1 + ae
X
where p(t) is the proportion of the population that has
heard the rumor at time t and a and k are positive constants.
(a) Find lim, p(t).
(b) Find the rate of spread of the rumor.
(c) Graph p for the case a
=
10, k = 0.5 with t measured
in hours. Use the graph to estimate how long it will
take for 80% of the population to hear the rumor.
