d) At a time t = 0 denoted as a technological innovation is introduced into a community that
has a fixed population of n people. Determine a differential equation for the number of
people x(t) who have adopted the innovation at time t if it is assumed that the rate at which
the innovations spread through the community is jointly proportional to the number of
people who have adopted it and the number of people who have not adopted it.
