1. How long does it take for the population to double in size? About 10 years 2. What happens to the slope of the curve over time (as you move to the right)? The curve increases exponentially 3. What does the slope of the curve represent? The relationship between time and population growth 4. Importantly, compare the 3 different graphs. What happens as you decrease the amount of time between steps? As the amount of time decreases, 5. What are pros and cons of smaller time steps? Pros include more data, yielding more accurate results. Cons are that this continuous style of monitoring is difficult and costly 6. How do you select an appropriate time step for discrete time? this is very difficult question. It is at least an overnight question and very important
