Question
Logistic Growth Assume that N(t) denotes the size of a population at time t and that N(t) satisfies the differential equation dN dt = 3N _ 1 N 20 _ Let f (N) = 3N(1 N 20 ) for N 0. Graph f (N) as a function of N and identify all equilibria (i.e., all points where dN dt = 0).
Solution
The first step in solving 4.1 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Logistic Growth Assume that N(t) denotes the size of a population at time t and that N(t) satisfies the differential equation dN dt = 3N _ 1 N 20 _ Let f (N) = 3N(1 N 20 ) for N 0. Graph f (N) as a function of N and identify all equilibria (i.e., all points where dN dt = 0).
From the textbook chapter Formal Definition of the Derivative you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
