The population one time step into the future is 33.71886792708

The logistic growth formula is:

$\frac{dN}{dt} =r.N.\frac{(K-N)}{K}$

where:

$\frac{dN}{dt}$ =Logistic Growth

r = maximum per capita growth rate of population

N = population size

K = carrying capacity

We have

r = 0.14

N0 = 690

K = 1060

Substituting the values in the formula ,we get

$\frac{dN}{dt} =( 0.14).690.\frac{(1060-690)}{1060}\\=33.71886792708 per day$

Therefore, the population one time step into the future is 33.71886792708.
