Stingray populations grow based on the differential equation below, where
If there are
stingrays for time , sketch a curve representing the population of stingrays. The starting point of the curve is
. What if the original population when
is stingrays? Draw this population curve and decide if its rate of growth is the same or different as that in part (a). The starting point of the curve is
. What if the original population when
is stingrays? Draw this population curve and decide if its rate of growth is the same or different as those in parts (a) and (b). Based on parts (a) and (b), you should have noticed that both curves approached the same value over time.
The starting point of this curve is. Do you think it will approach the same threshold?
