Question:

a. Show that the population P in the logistic equation reaches half the maximum population M at time t given by:

t* = to - (1/rM) In[Po/(M-Po)]

b. Derive the form given by Equation (11.12) for population growth according to the logistic law.

Equation 11.12

P(t)= M 1+ e-M (1-1) (11.12)

c. Derive the equation lnŒ[P/(M–P)] = r M t–r M t∗ from Equation (11.12).
