Our green energy campaign includes efforts to get local residents to exchange their incandescent bulbs fur fluorescent bulbs. Initially 200 households make the change. Market studies suggest that, in the absence of limiting factors, we could increase that number by 25 each month. In our target area, there are 250,000 households, which we take as the limiting value. Make a logistic model that gives the number of households converting to fluorescent bulbs after t months.

Suppose the school board plan results in logistic growth of attendance. The school board believes that its plan can eventually lead to an attendance level of 50 parents. In the absence of limiting factors, the school board believes that its plan can increase participation by 10 each month. Let m denote the number of months since the participation plan was put in place, and let P be the number of parents attending PTA meetings. a.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta claims that the cumulative number of infections with this flu strain will increase by 40 per week if there are no limiting factors. Make a logistic model of the potential cumulative number of cases of flu as a function of weeks from initial outbreak, and determine how long it will be before 100, 000 people are infected.
