You have just introduced a new computer to the market. You predict that you will eventually sell 99,000 computers and that your monthly rate of sales will be 17% of the difference between the saturation value and the total number you have sold up to that point. Solve the differential equation for your total sales s (as a function of the month). Hint: What are your total sales at the moment when you first introduce the computer
A) $s = 99,000 e ^ { 0.17 t }$
B) $s = 99,000 \left( 1 - e ^ { - 0.17 t } \right)$
C) $s = 99,000 + 0.17 t$
D) $s = 99,000 \left( 1 - e ^ { - 1.7 t } \right)$
E) $s = 99,000 + t ^ { 0.17 }$

The Answer is B

You Have Just Introduced a New Computer to the Market s=99,000e0.17ts = 99,000 e ^ { 0.17 t }s=99,000e0.17t

You Have Just Introduced a New Computer to the Market $s = 99,000 e ^ { 0.17 t }$
