Let the population of living fish at time t (years) be denoted by x(t) (tonnes). An initial
quantity of x0 tonnes of fish will be put into the lake at time t = 0. The net rate of change of
the fish population in tonnes of fish per year is
dx
-
= 0.5x = x² - f,
x(0) =
= x0
dt
where xo) and f are non-negative constants and f represents the fish-harvesting rate.
(a) Taking f
=
0, write down the resulting differential equation
stating clearly the solution method used.
