Let's carefully solve this step by step manually. We are given a first-order ODE: $$ \frac{dn(t)}{dt} = a \big(L - n(t)\big), \quad n(t_0) = n_0 $$ and are asked to associate the variables and parameters to a physical system, specifically for population changes. --- ### Step 1: Identify the type of equation This is a linear first-order ODE of the form: $$ \frac{dn}{dt} + a\,n = aL $$ where $n(t)$ is the unknown function. This is similar to a population growth with a limiting factor, often called logistic-type linear growth (simplified linear form). --- ### Step 2: Solve the ODE 1. Rewrite the ODE: $$ \frac{dn}{dt} = a(L - n) $$ 2. Separate variables: $$ \frac{dn}{L - n} = a\, dt $$ 3. Integrate both sides: $$ \int \frac{dn}{L - n} = \int a\, dt $$ * LHS: $\int \frac{dn}{L - n} = -\ln|L - n|$ * RHS: $\int a\, dt = at + C$ So: $$ -\ln|L - n| = at + C $$ $$ \ln|L - n| = -at
