Question 5 Sociologists sometimes use the phrase social diffusion to describe the way information spreads through a population. The information might be a rumor, a cultural fad, or news about a technical innovation. In a sufficiently large population, the number of people who have the information is treated as an assumed to be proportional to the number of people who have the information times the number of people who do not. This leads to the equation ( where is the number of people in the population. , two people start a rumor at time in a population of )

Suppose is in days,

people. (a) Find as a function of . [Hints: use method of separable in Differential Equation] (b) When will half the population have heard the rumor? (This is when the rumor will be spreading the fastest.)
