1 Mathematicians often study equations of the form x' (t) = rx(t)[1 – X(t)], instead of the more complicated x"(t) = cx(t)[K – X(t)), justifying the simplification with the statement that the second equation "reduces to" the first equation. Starting with y' (t) = cy(t)[K – y(t)], substitute y(t) = Kä(t) and show that the equation reduces to the form x'(t) = rx(t)[1 – x(t)]. How does the constant r relate to the constants cand K?

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
