Imagine a small island with a population of 50 rabbits that doubles every month. If there are no predators, how many rabbits will there be after 5 months?
This is an example of exponential growth.
You have a population of 100 fish in a small pond. If the carrying capacity of the pond is 200 and fish reproduction adds 10 fish per month, while 5 fish die each month, will the fish population reach the carrying capacity, and in how many months if immigration or emigration is ignored?
Calculate the effective monthly growth towards the carrying capacity.
