Suppose a population grows according to a logistic model with initial population 500 and carrying capacity 5,000. If the populat

ion grows to 1250 after one year, what will the population be after another three years

Answer:

4,500

Explanation:

The logistic growth model is given by:

\frac{dP}{dt}=rP(1-\frac{P}{K} )

Solving for P(t), we obtain:

P(t)=\dfrac{KP_0e^{rt}}{(K-P_0)+P_0e^{rt}}$ where:\\P_0=$Initial Population\\K=Carrying Capacity\\r=Growth rate\\P(t)=Population at a time t.

We are given that:

I$nitial Population,P_0=500\\$Carrying Capacity,K=5000\\Population after one year, P(1)=1250 \implies t=1

Therefore:

1250=\dfrac{500 \times 5000e^{r \times 1}}{(5000-500)+500e^{r\times 1}}\\\\1250[(5000-500)+500e^{r}]=500 \times 5000e^{r}\\4500+500e^{r}=2000e^{r}\\2000e^{r}-500e^{r}=4500\\1500e^{r}=4500\\e^r=3\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\r =\ln 3

We want to determine the population after another three years. i,e When t=4

P(4)=\dfrac{500 \times 5000e^{\ln|3| \times 4}}{(5000-500)+500e^{\ln|3| \times 4}}\\=\dfrac{2,500,000e^{\ln|3| \times 4}}{4500+500e^{\ln|3| \times 4}}\\P(4)=4500

Therefore, after another three years, the population will be 4500.

Which term describes the type of rock that is formed when previously formed rock under goes changes
nadezda [96]

The answer is metamorphic rock.


Igneous rock is formed by the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediments.

When either of these types of rocks undergo a transformation due to heat and/or pressure, they become metamorphic rock.


Hope this helps!!

How does variation of beak type affect a birds ability to survive?
Blababa [14]
The variation in beak type enables the different individuals in a population to feed on different food sources.

The shape of the beak is key to determining the primary food source of the bird. Certain birds species have specialized beaks, but within populations of those species, there is a variation in beak shape.
This gives the population the ability to respond to changes in the environment and availability of different food sources.
For example, if because of a dry period there is a shortage of fruit, some individuals in the population have the beaks that enable them to feed on other things, survive and leave offspring.
