Question

The number N(t) of supermarkets throughout the country that are using a computerized checkout system is described by the initial value problem 

dN/dt= N(1-0.0005N), N(0)=1

(a) Use the phase portrait concept to predict how many supermarkets are expected to adopt the new procedure over a long period of time. By hand, sketch a solution curve of the given initial-value problem.
(b) Solve the initial-value problem and then use a graphing utility to verify the solution curve in part (a). How many companies are expected to adopt the new technology when t = 10?
