a. Solve the logistic Equation (4) in this section by observing that $$\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{N-y}=\frac{N}{(N-y) y}$$ b. Assume $0< y < N .$ Verify that $b=\left(N-y_{0}\right) / y_{0}$ in Equation $(5),$ where $y_{0}$ is the initial population size. c. Assume $0< N < y$ for all $y .$ Verify that $b=\left(y_{0}-N\right) / y_{0}.$
