Logistic Differential Equations

Given the logistic differential equation $\frac{dP}{dt} = 3 P \left( 1 - \frac{P}{600}\right),$ and $P(0)=P_{0} = 17,$ what time $t$ satisfies $P(t)=100?$

\displaystyle{t = \frac{1}{3} \ln \frac{583}{85}}

\displaystyle{t = \frac{1}{3} \ln \frac{583}{95}}

\displaystyle{t = \frac{1}{3} \ln \frac{583}{87}}

\displaystyle{t = \frac{1}{3} \ln \frac{583}{100}}

Let $P_0$ denote the initial value $P(0)$ of the function $P(t).$ Which of the following functions satisfy $\frac{dP}{dt} = 5 P \left( 1 - \frac{P}{8}\right)?$

\displaystyle{P(t) = \frac{5 P_{0}}{P_{0} - (8+P_{0})e^{-8 t}}}

\displaystyle{P(t) = \frac{8 P_{0}}{P_{0} - (5-P_{0})e^{-8 t}}}

\displaystyle{P(t) = \frac{8 P_{0}}{P_{0} + (8-P_{0})e^{-5 t}}}

\displaystyle{P(t) = \frac{8 P_{0}}{P_{0} + (5+P_{0})e^{-5 t}}}
