Question: Studies show that when environmental factors impose an upper bound on the possible size of a population P(t), the population often tends to grow in

Studies show that when environmental factors impose an upper bound on the possible size of a population P(t), the population often tends to grow in such a way that the percentage rate of change of P(t) satisfies


100 P' (t) P(t) = A - BP(t)


where A and B are positive constants. Where does the graph of P(t) have an inflection point? What is the significance of this point? 

100 P' (t) P(t) = A - BP(t)
