Options
- A. dN dt = rN ( K+N K )
- B. dN dt = rN ( K-N K )
- C. dN dt = rN ( K-N N )
- D. dN dt = rN ( K K-N )
Answer
B. dN dt = rN ( K-N K )
Step-by-step solution
The Verhulst-Pearl logistic population growth is described by the equation: dN dt = rN ( K-N K ) where N is the population density at time t, r is the intrinsic rate of natural increase, and K is the carrying capacity. Answer: dN dt = rN ( K-N K )
