Modeling Human Height with a Logistic Function A male child is 21inches long at birth and grows to an adult height of 73inches. In this exercise, we make a logistic model of his height as a function of age. a. Use the given information to find K and b for the logistic model. b. Suppose he reaches 95 of his adult height at age 16. Use this information and that from part a to find r. Suggestion: You will need to use either the crossing-graphs method or some algebra involving the logarithm. c. Make a logistic model for his height H, in inches, as a function of his age t, in years. d. According to the logistic model, at what age is he growing the fastest? e. Is your answer to part d consistent with your knowledge of how humans grow?

More on the Pacific Sardine This is a continuation of Example 5.1. In this exercise, we explore the Pacific sardine population further, using the model in Example 5.1. a. If the current level of the Pacific sardine population is 50,000 tons, how long will it take for the population to recover to the optimum growth level of 1.2milliontons? Suggestion: One way to solve this is to make a new logistic formula using K2.4, r0.338, and N(0)0.05. b. The value of r used in Example 5.1 ignores the effects of fishing. If fishing mortality is taken into account, then r drops to 0.215 per year with the carrying capacity still at 2.4milliontons. Answer the question in part a using this lower value of r. Note: The population estimate of 50,000 tons and the adjusted value of r are given in the paper by Murphy see footnote 3 on page 347. Murphy points out that factoring in the growth of the competing anchovy population makes the recovery times even longer, and he adds. "It is disconcerting to realize how slowly the population will recover to its level of maximum productivity ... even if fishing stops." Studies to fit a logistic model to the Pacific sardine population have yielded. N=241+239e0.338t where t is measured in years and N is measured in millions of tons of fish. Part 1 What is r for the Pacific sardine? Part 2 According to the logistic model, in the absence of limiting factors, what would be the annual percentage growth rate for the Pacific sardine?
