Question
Suppose a population grows according to the logistic equation but is subject to a constant total harvest rate of H. If N(t) is the population size at time t, the population dynamics are dN dt = r 1 − N K N − H. Different values of H will result in different equilibrium population sizes, and if H is large enough we might expect extinction.(a) Suppose r = 2, K = 1000, and H = 100. Find all equilibria. (Round your answers to the nearest integer. Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) N hat =(b) Determine whether each of the equilibria found in part is locally stable or unstable. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) stable N hat = unstable N hat =Is the population predicted to go extinct?YesNo

Answer:
a) Equilibrium point : [ 947, 53 ]
b) N = 947 is stable equilibrium, N = 53 is unstable equilibrium
c) N0, the population will not go extinct
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
Given that;
r = 2, k = 1000, H = 100
dN/dT = R(1 – N/k)N – H
so we substitute
dN/dt = 2( 1 – N/1000)N – 100
now for equilibrium solution, dN/dt = 0
so
2( 1 – N/1000)N – 100 = 0
((1000 – N)/1000)N = 50
N^2 – 1000N + 50000 = 0
N = 1000 ± √(-1000)² – 4(1)(50000)) / 2(1)
N = 947.213 OR 52.786
approximately
N = 947 OR 53
Therefore Equilibrium point : [ 947, 53 ]
b)
g(N) = 2( 1 – N/1000)N – 100
= 2N – N²/500 – 100
g'(N) = 2 – N/250
SO AT 947
g'(N) = g'(947) = 2 – 947/250 = -1.788 which is less than (<) 0
so N = 947 is stable equilibrium
now AT 53
g'(N) = g”(53) = 2 – 53/250 = 1.788 which is greater than (>) 0
so N = 53 is unstable equilibrium
The capacity k=1000
If the population is less than 53 then the population will become extinct but since the capacity is equal to 1000 then the population will not go extinct.
