Fit a logistic model using both printed integration methods

[Diseases modelling]

A community has 1000 people. The infected population x at t days satisfies dx/dt=kx(1000−x)dx/dt=kx(1000-x), with k>0k>0. Initially one person is infected; after five days 12% are infected. Find when half the population has contracted the disease and state an assumption of the model.
