Zero
In a logistic model with differential equation , what is the resultant equation for the population approaching half of its carrying capacity?
The population continues to grow exponentially with no significant changes in the rate of growth.
The population does not change because the rate of change
The population declines to zero because the growth rate has slowed down to a negligible rate.
The population approaches half the carrying capacity when the term
Given that cell culture grows according logistical equation , if researcher wishes double quantity cells within hours & knows exact doubling-time under current conditions, how she adjust parameter (growth rate), given constant is fixed representation maximum possible cell density in environment?
Increasing value although it's specified as fixed.
Doubling growth rate, .
Holding constant while changing other conditions like nutrient concentration.
Reducing growth rate by factor two.

If a logistic growth function models a population with a carrying capacity of , which expression represents its derivative at an early stage when the population size is much smaller than ?
Zero, since the population is stable at low levels.
A complex fraction involving both and to some power of .
Approximately equal to a constant multiple of the current population size.
Equal to minus the current population size.
