Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings. Suppose that a roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has reached and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is . If is the temperature of the turkey after minutes, then Newton's Law of Cooling implies that
This could be solved as a separable differential equation. Another method is to make the change of variable . If the temperature of the turkey is after half an hour, what is the temperature after ?

Biologists stocked a lake with 400 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 10,700 . The number of fish tripled in the first year. Assuming that the size of the fish population satisfies the logistic equation, find an expression for the size of the population after years.
