1. Basic Diff EQ question: finding a function with given properties

Find a function f(y) with the property that: for each solution y(x) of dy/dx = f(y), the limiting value lim as x-> +inf of y(x) equals 3 if y(0) > 0.

Any help?

2. A possible solution of the problem is a function $y(x)$ with the following derivative $y^{'} (x)$...

$y^{'} < 0$ with $y>3$ or $y<0$

$y^{'} =0$ with $y=3$ or $y=0$

$y^{'} >0$ with $0<y<3$

A DE the solution of which has these properties is, among others, the following ...

$y^{'} = 3 y - y^{2}, y(0)=y_{0}>0$

... as you can easily verify...

Kind regards
