Recall that the general form of a logistic equation for a population is given by P ( t ) = c 1 + a e b t , such that the initial population at time t = 0 is P ( 0 ) = P 0 . Show algebraically that c P ( t ) P ( t ) = c P 0 P 0 e b t .

Working with the left side of the equation, we see that it can be rewritten as a e b t :

c P ( t ) P ( t ) = c c 1 + a e b t c 1 + a e b t = c ( 1 + a e b t ) c 1 + a e b t c 1 + a e b t = c ( 1 + a e b t 1 ) 1 + a e b t c 1 + a e b t = 1 + a e b t 1 = a e b t

Working with the right side of the equation we show that it can also be rewritten as a e b t . But first note that when t = 0 , P 0 = c 1 + a e b ( 0 ) = c 1 + a . Therefore,

c P 0 P 0 e b t = c c 1 + a c 1 + a e b t = c ( 1 + a ) c 1 + a c 1 + a e b t = c ( 1 + a 1 ) 1 + a c 1 + a e b t = ( 1 + a 1 ) e b t = a e b t

Thus, c P ( t ) P ( t ) = c P 0 P 0 e b t .

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
