Logistic Growth Animal populations are not capable of unrestricted growth because of limited habitat and food supplies. Under such conditions the population follows a logistic growth model: p(t)=d1+kea Where c, d, and k are positive constants. For a certain fish population in a small pond d=1200, k=11, c=0.2, and t is measured in years. The fish were introduced into the pond at time t=0 . How many fish were originally put in the pond? Find the population after 10, 20, and 30 years. Evaluate p(t) for large values of t. What value does the population approach as t? Does the graph shown confirm your calculations?

Decay of Litter Litter such as leaves falls to the forest floor, where the action of insects and bacteria initiates the decay process. Let A be the amount of litter present, in grams per square meter, as a function of time t in years. If the litter falls at a constant rate of L grams per square meter per year, and if it decays at a constant proportional rate of k per year, then the limiting value of A is R=L/k. For this exercise and the next, we suppose that at time t=0, the forest floor is clear of litter. a. If D is the difference between the limiting value and A, so that D=RA, then D is an exponential function of time. Find the initial value of D in terms of R. b. The yearly decay factor for D is ek. Find a formula for D in term of R and k. Reminder:(ab)c=abc. c. Explain why A=RRekt.
