Equation of change for logistic growth: The logistic growth formula N = 6.21/(0.035 + 0.45t ) that we used in Chapter 2 for deer on the George Reserve actually came from the following equation of change:
a. Plot the graph of dN dt versus N , and use it to find the equilibrium solutions. Explain their physical significance.
b. In one plot, sketch the equilibrium solutions and graphs of N versus t in each of the two cases N (0) = 10 and N (0) = 225.
c. To what starting value for N does the solution N = 6.21/(0.035 + 0.45t ) correspond?
