007A Sample Midterm 2, Problem 4

Assume  $N(t)$  denotes the size of a population at time  $t$  and that  $N(t)$  satisfies the equation:

${\frac {dN}{dt}}=3N{\bigg (}1-{\frac {N}{20}}{\bigg )}.$

Let  $f(N)=3N{\bigg (}1-{\frac {N}{20}}{\bigg )},~N\geq 0.$  Graph  $f(N)$  as a function of  $N$  and identify all equilibria. That is, all points where  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle {\frac {dN}{dt}}=0.}
