Recall the Gompertz differential equation, which is commonly written as \(\frac{dM}{dt} = r M \ln\left(\frac{K}{M}\right)\), where \(M(t)\) is the population at time \(t\), \(r\) is the growth rate, and \(K\) is the carrying capacity.
To solve this equation, start by separating variables or using an integrating factor approach. The general solution to the Gompertz equation can be expressed as \(M(t) = K \exp\left(-C e^{-r t}\right)\), where \(C\) is a constant determined by the initial condition.
Apply the initial condition \(M(0) = M_0\) to find the constant \(C\). Substitute \(t=0\) and \(M(0) = M_0\) into the solution formula to get \(M_0 = K \exp(-C)\), which implies \(C = -\ln\left(\frac{M_0}{K}\right)\).
Substitute the value of \(C\) back into the solution to get the explicit formula for \(M(t)\): \(M(t) = K \exp\left(-\left(-\ln\left(\frac{M_0}{K}\right)\right) e^{-r t}\right)\), which simplifies to \(M(t) = K \exp\left(\ln\left(\frac{M_0}{K}\right) e^{-r t}\right)\).
Finally, use the given values \(r=0.05\), \(K=1200\), and \(M_0=90\) to write the specific solution. Then, graph \(M(t)\) over a suitable range of \(t\) to verify that \(M(0) = 90\) and that \(\lim_{t \to \infty} M(t) = K = 1200\).

Gompertz Equation

The Gompertz equation is a type of differential equation used to model growth processes, often in biology or demography. It describes how a quantity grows rapidly at first and then slows down as it approaches a limiting value, called the carrying capacity. Understanding its form and parameters is essential to solving and interpreting the solution.

Initial Conditions and Parameters

Initial conditions like M₀ specify the starting value of the function at time zero, while parameters r and K control the growth rate and the upper limit (carrying capacity) respectively. Correctly applying these values is crucial for finding the particular solution that fits the given scenario.
