7. In Sarawak the local owls feed on the rats. As the rats population varies so does the owl
population lY which depends on the rats for survival. A population model for the number
of owls is described by the differential equation
ry=
k(000-W)(W
-200)with
an initial
'dt
population W6 ilnd I is in years. For /r
