Question

Apply the logistic growth model with the following sets of values to find the population in the next four generations. Be sure to round the population each year to the nearest integer.\

N=4000,k=2.5,a1=1800N=4000, k=2.5, a_1=1800

Given.\textbf{Given.} The logistic growth equation is the recursion defined by:

an+1=f(an)=k(1anN)ana_{n+1} = f(a_n) = k\left( 1 - \dfrac{a_n}{N}\right)a_n

where kk is the growth rate constant and NN is the maximum size of the population. We are tasked to find the size of the next four generations which are a2a_2, a3a_3, a4a_4, and a5a_5 through four iterations of the given value for a1a_1. We are given:

N=4000,  k=2.5,  a1=1800N = 4000,\;k=2.5,\;a_1=1800

A calculator or spreadsheet may help in the calculations.
