Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that population P(t) satisfies the differential equation-

                               dPdt=kP(400-P) -(1)

Also given that -

P(0)=200 million and dP(0)dt=3Since t=0 for 1960 year .We have to find population in 2020 year .That is , P(60)For 2020 year t=60

We have at t=0 

3=k(200)(400-200)

3=k(40000)

k=340000
