The "Verhulst Model" for Population Growth Specifies the Reproductive Rate R(p)=r1+kpR ( p ) = \frac { r } { 1 + k p }

Question 63

Multiple Choice

The "Verhulst model" for population growth specifies the reproductive rate of an organism as a function of the total population according to the following formula: ? R(p) =r1+kpR ( p ) = \frac { r } { 1 + k p }
Where p is the total population in thousands of organisms, r and k are constants that depend on the particular circumstances and organism being studied, and R(p) is the reproduction rate in thousands of organisms per hour. If k=0.075k = 0.075 and r=35r = 35 , find R(p) R ^ { \prime } ( p ) .


A) 2.6251+0.075p2\frac { 2.625 } { 1 + 0.075 p ^ { 2 } }
B) 351+0.075p2\frac { 35 } { 1 + 0.075 p ^ { 2 } }
C) 2.625(1+0.075p) 2\frac { 2.625 } { ( 1 + 0.075 p ) ^ { 2 } }
D) 2.6251+0.075p\frac { 2.625 } { 1 + 0.075 p }
E) 2.625(1+0.075p) 2- \frac { 2.625 } { ( 1 + 0.075 p ) ^ { 2 } }
