Textbook Question
Chapter 9.4, Problem 22E
Another model for a growth function for a limited population is given by the Gompertz function, which is a solution of the differential equation
where c is a constant and M is the carrying capacity.
- (a) Solve this differential equation.
- (b) Compute limt→∞ P(t).
- (c) Graph the Gompertz growth function for M = 1000, P0 = 100, and c = 0.05, and compare it with the logistic function in Example 2. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
- (d) We know from Exercise 13 that the logistic function grows fastest when P = M/2. Use the Gompertz differential equation to show that the Gompertz function grows fastest when P = M/e.
