1. A fish hatchery employed a mathematician to design a model to predict the population size of fish that the hatchery can expect to find in their pond at any given time. The mathematical model that the mathematician created is:

dP/dt = 2P(1-(P/25))

 

 

 

 

(a) Draw a one dimensional phase portrait of the autonomous differential equation. What does this differential equation predict for future fish populations for various initial conditions? Describe the various cases in a few sentences interpreting your one-dimensional phase diagram.
