Problem

The rate at which a baby bird gains weight is proportional to the difference between its adult weight and its current weight. At time t=0t = 0 , when the bird is first weighed, its weight is 20 grams. If B(t)B(t) is the weight of the bird, in grams, at time tt days after it is first weighed, then dBdt=15(100−B).\frac{dB}{dt} = \frac{1}{5}(100 - B). Let y=B(t)y = B(t) be the solution to the differential equation above with initial condition B(0)=20B(0) = 20 .
