Orthogonal Trajectories
Common problem in electrostatics, thermodynamics, and hydrodynamics
Involves finding a family of curves, each of which is orthogonal to all members of a given family of curves.
Ex. and Two such families are said to be mutually
orthogonal, and each curve in one family is called an orthogonal trajectory of the other family.

Describe the orthogonal trajectories for the family of curves given by

Logistic Differential Equation
Exponential growth is unlimited, but when describing a population, there often exists some upper limit L past which growth cannot occur. This upper limit L is called the carrying capacity, which is the maximum population y(t) that can be sustained or supported as time t increases.
A model that is often used to describe this type of growth is the logistic differential equation
where k and L are positive constants.
From the equation, you can see that if y is between 0 and the carrying capacity L, then dy/dt > 0, and the population increases.
17
Logistic Differential Equation
If y is greater than L, then dy/dt < 0, and the population decreases. The graph of the function y is called the logistic curve.
