differential equation

dx xt (0.8  x)

where t is the number of years since the start of the study.

Given that exactly 3 years after the start of the study half of the flowers in the woodland
area were blue,

the proportion of blue flowers in the woodland area half a year later.
(5)
(b) Deduce from the differential equation the proportion of flowers that will be blue in
the long term.
