Suppose that P(t) denotes the size of an animal population at time t and that the population growth rate is modeled by the logistic differential equation dP/dt = 0.001P(1200 - P). For which of these is the population growing fastest? t = 0 P = 600 P = 1199 P'(t) = 0 P''(t) > 0

A population of animals has a per-capita birth rate of b = 0.08 per year and a per capita death rate of m = 0.01 per year. The population density p(t) is to satisfy the differential equation. dp(t)/dt = bp(t) - mp(t) a) If the population is initially P(0) = 1000, find how big the population is after 5 years. b) When does the population double?
