Suppose That the Discrete Logistic Model for Population Growth Is $P _ { n + 1 } = P _ { n } + 0.351 P _ { n } \left( 1 - \frac { P _ { n } } { 2.849 \times 10 ^ { 8 } } \right)$

question 59

Multiple Choice

Suppose that the discrete logistic model for population growth is models as follows: $P _ { n + 1 } = P _ { n } + 0.351 P _ { n } \left( 1 - \frac { P _ { n } } { 2.849 \times 10 ^ { 8 } } \right)$ What is the natural rate of increase when the population is small?

• A) 0.351
• B) \(1.232 \times 10 ^ { - 9 }\)
• C) \(2.849 \times 10 ^ { 8 }\)
• D) None of the above.
