A student carrying an influenza virus returns to an isolated college campus with 1,000 students. Assuming that the rate at which the virus spreads is proportional not only to the number x of infected students, but also to the number of non-infected students, determine the number of infected students after 6 days if it is observed that after 4 days there are 50 infected students.
