Question:

Carriers are individuals who can transmit a disease but who exhibit no apparent symptoms. Let y represent the proportion of carriers in a population at any time t. Suppose that carriers are quarantined at a rate r. Then the change in the proportion of carriers can be modeled by dy/dt = -ry. Find the general solution of the differential equation given that 40% of the population are carriers at the beginning of an outbreak.
