It is estimated that the world human population reached 3 billion people in 1959 and 6 billion in 1999. Assuming a carrying capacity of 16 billion humans, write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth, and determine what year the population reached 7 billion. Was logistic growth or Gompertz growth more accurate, considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011

i ) Gompertz equation :

ii) The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

iii) The logistic growth was more accurate

Explanation:

i) write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth

Gompertz equation :

∝ = growth rate

k ( carrying capacity ) = 16 * 10^9

P(t) = population at time t

ii) Determine what year the population reached 7 billion

The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013

solution attached below

iii) Determine if logistic growth or Gompertz growth was more accurate  considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011

The logistic growth was more accurate because the when Logistic growth model was used, the year in which the population reached 7 billion was 2010 and this value is more closer to 7 billion on October 31 2011 ( given value )

your answer is true

i am 100% sure

explanation:

the "dirty dozen" chemicals banned in an international treaty are formally known as persistent organic pollutants, or pops. the united nations environment program provided this background on what they are and what they can do to humans and wildlife.

i hope this
