A bacteria culture has an
initial population of 500. After
4 hours the population has
grown to 1000. Assuming the
culture grows at a rate
proportional to the size of the
population, find a function

EXAMPLE : A certain pawikan breeding site is
said to be able to sustain 5000 pawikans.
One thousand pawikans are brought there
initially. After a year, this increased to 1100
pawikans. How many pawikans will there be
after 5 years? Assume that pawikans follow
the limited growth model.

EXAMPLE 5: Ten Philippine eagles were

.
introduced to a national park 10 years ago.
There are now 23 eagles in the park. The park
can support a maximum of 100 eagles.
Assuming a logistic growth model, when will the
eagle population reach 50?
.
.
We are now ready to answer the question, “When will the eagle
population reach 50?”

.
Given the most recent version of our logistic equation, we just
substitute y with 50 and
solve for t, the time required to have 50 eagles in the population.
The eagle population in the said
national park will reach 50 in

.
approximately 22 years. .
