World population (part 2) The relative growth rate r of a function f measures the rate of change of the function compared to its value at a particular point. It is computed as r(t) = f′(t)/f(t).
a. Confirm that the relative growth rate in 1999 (t = 0) for the logistic model in Exercise 98 is r(0) = P′(0)/P(0) = 0.015. This means the world’s population was growing at 1.5% per year in 1999.
b. Compute the relative growth rate of the world’s population in 2010 and 2020. What appears to be happening to the relative growth rate as time increases?
c. Evaluate

- Table 6 shows the population, in thousands, of harbor seals in the Wadden Sea over the years 1997 to 2012. a. Let x represent time in years starting with x=0 for the year 1997. Let y represent the number of seals in thousands. Use logistic regression to fit a model to these data. b. Use the model to predict the seal population for the year 2020. c. To the nearest whole number, what is the limiting value of this model?arrow_forwardWhat is the y -intercept of the logistic growth model y=c1+aerx ? Show the steps for calculation. What does this point tell us about the population?arrow_forwardWhat is the carrying capacity for a population modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=250,0001+499e0.45t ? initial population for the model?arrow_forward
- The fox population in a certain region has an annualgrowth rate of 9 per year. In the year 2012, therewere 23,900 fox counted in the area. What is the foxpopulation predicted to be in the year 2020 ?arrow_forwardPopulation Growth In section 2.1, Exercise 37, the growth in world population in millions was approximated by the exponential function At=3100e0.0166t, where t is the number of years since 1960. Find the instantaneous rate of change in the world population at the following times.
