P5, 40pts. Revisiting logistic growth. This problem considers the case where the
logistic equation has a slowly varying carrying capacity k(et), where k is a smooth, positive
function, but otherwise arbitrary. The equation is
3-(1-844))
y = ry
k(et)
where y(0) = a and r, a are positive constants. Obtain a first-term approximation of the
solution valid for large t. For +10, attempt to determine the second term in the
approximation.
