Problem

Consider the differential equation dydt=y(1−y)\dfrac{dy}{dt}=y(1-y). A solution curve starts at the point (0,0.40)(0,0.40). Which of the following best describes the long-term behavior of the solution as t→∞t\to\infty? (a) It decreases and approaches y=0y=0. (b) It increases without bound. (c) It increases and approaches y=1y=1. (d) It increases and approaches y=0.5y=0.5.
