Question
Population Growth When predicting population growth, demographers must consider birth and death rates as well as the net change caused by the difference between the rates of immigration and emigration. Let P be the population at time t and let N be the net increase per unit time due to the difference between immigration and emigration. So, the rate of growth of the population is given by N is constant. Solve this differential equation to find P as a function of time.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.3 problem number 83 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Population Growth When predicting population growth, demographers must consider birth and death rates as well as the net change caused by the difference between the rates of immigration and emigration. Let P be the population at time t and let N be the net increase per unit time due to the difference between immigration and emigration. So, the rate of growth of the population is given by N is constant. Solve this differential equation to find P as a function of time.
From the textbook chapter Differential Equations: Separation of Variables you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
