A certain parasite is an enemy of a specific type of tree. In one model of the interaction between these organisms,possible long-term population of the parasite are the solution of the equation r(1-x/k)=10X(1+x2), for constants r and k. Find all possible solutions of the equation with r=5 and k=7. Note: x2 means (x to the power of 2)
