A population of fish in a controlled pond is represented by a growth logistic model: Given the equation is: Pn+1 = 1.6P - 0.0003P,² where P, is the population at n-month. a) Find the value of rand M. Interpret your answers. (Hint: Hint: Pn+1 = P + rP (1-1 = P₁ + rP₂ ( 1 - where M is the carrying capacity) b) Given the initial fish population is 200. Find the population of the fish at P₁, P2, and P3. c) Sketch the solution of this model. What will happen to the population after a long time t. d) Find the equilibrium points of the given model and determine the solution's behaviour near the equilibrium points.
