Question

please help me!!

Complete the following statements using the function posted below:

This function is known as a _________ growth function.


22. This function in the previous question is used to model population growth when resources are _______________


23. In this function, L represents the ___________ of the environment for this population.

Answer 1

I had to google this as I don't remember it or haven't studied it, but it's a logistic growth function. L represents the limiting value, ie the population is limited to that amount. I pretty much got all that from this:

Answer 2

its an exponential growth model of some type.

Answer 3

so which is the correct answer?

Answer 4

It's logistic growth, look at the link i posted.

Answer 5

@agent0smith great, thanks so much :) do u know the answer to the second?

Answer 6

It's related to exponential growth, but exponential growth is uncapped (the population will grow forever with no limiting factors). Logistic growth is limited by factors like food, space etc, which is where the L value comes in.

I posted the answer to the second question in my first reply: L represents the limiting value of the environment, ie the population is limited to that amount.

Answer 7

so then it would be "This function in the previous question is used to model population growth when resources are limited?"

Answer 8

@agent0smith

Answer 9

Yep, I think that sounds good.

Answer 10

Oh yes, i did forget to answer that question...

Answer 11

thanks :) do you know the third?
