Logistic equation for a population A community of hares on an island has a population of 50 when observations begin (at t = 0). The population is modeled by the initial value problem
- a. Find and graph the solution of the initial value problem, for t ≥ 0.
- b. What is the steady-state population?

- What is the carrying capacity for a population modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=250,0001+499e0.45t ? initial population for the model?arrow_forwardThe table shows the mid-year populations (in millions) of five countries in 2015 and the projected populations (in millions) for the year 2025. (a) Find the exponential growth or decay model y=aebt or y=aebt for the population of each country by letting t=15 correspond to 2015. Use the model to predict the population of each country in 2035. (b) You can see that the populations of the United States and the United Kingdom are growing at different rates. What constant in the equation y=aebt gives the growth rate? Discuss the relationship between the different growth rates and the magnitude of the constant.arrow_forwardThe population of a culture of bacteria is modeled by the logistic equation P(t)=14,2501+29e0.62t where t is inarrow_forward
