Question

One or more initial conditions are given for the differential equation in the this exercise. Use the qualitative theory of autonomous differential equations to sketch the graphs of the corresponding solutions. Include a yz-graph if one is not already provided. Always indicate the constant solutions on the ty-graph whether they are mentioned or not.

The graph of z=12yln(y/30)z=-\frac{1}{2} y \ln (y / 30) has relative maximum point at y11.0364y \approx 11.0364 and y-intercept at y-30; y(0)-1, y(0)=20, and y(0)=40. Sketch the solutions to the Gompertz growth equation

dydt=12ylny30.\frac{d y}{d t}=-\frac{1}{2} y \ln \frac{y}{30} .

For this problem we have g(y)=12ylny30g(y)=-\dfrac{1}{2}y \ln \dfrac{y}{30}. We draw the graph of the function z=g(y)z=g(y) on a yzyz-coordinate system together with the initial values y(0)y(0) on the (horizontal) yy-axis: 'slader'

(Note in the image that the mark at (0,0)(0,0) represents that the function g(y)g(y) is not defined at y=0y=0)
