Question

A model for the population P(t) in a suburb of a large city is given by the initial-value problem

dP/dt = P(10-1 - 10-7P),    P(0)=6000,

where t is measured in months. 

What is the limiting value of the population?

At what time will the population be equal to one-half of this limiting value? (Round to one decimal place.)
