The per capita growth rate of many species varies temporally for a variety of reasons, including seasonality and habitat destruction. Suppose n(t) represents the population size at time t, where n is measured in individuals and t is measured in years. Solve the following differential equation.
Habitat destruction is modeled as
n' = e^(-t)n n(0) = n0.
Here the per capita growth rate declines over time, but always remains positive. It is modeled by the function e^(-t).
n(t) =
Describe the predicted population dynamic.
The population grows from toward a value of in the long run.
