One method of slowing the growth of an insect population without using pesticide

Question

One method of slowing the growth of an insect population without using pesticides is to introduce into the population a number of sterile males that mate with fertile females but produce no offspring. If P represents the number of female insects in a population, S the number of sterile males introduced each generation, and r the population's natural growth rate, then the female population is related to time t (the equation is on the top)

Suppose an insect population with 10,000 females grows at a rate of r = 0.10 and 900 sterile males are added in each generation. Evaluate the integral to give an equation relating the female population to time. (Note that the resulting equation cannot be solved explicitly for P.)

(Your answer will be a function of P. Give any constants in exact form.)

Explanation / Answer

some of the equations written are not clear as the symbols cannot be understood..
so please repost the questions so that i can answer them and please be generous and rate this answer..thanks
