A population grows at the rate of 5% per year. Then the population will be doubled in :

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let population at time `t` be `x(t)`

Then, because the growth of population depends on the current population

`Rightarrow frac{{d}}{{dt}} {x}({t}) alpha {x}({t})`

The rate of increase in population is `5 %=0.05`.

This implies:

`` `Rightarrow frac{{d}}{{dt}} {x}({t})=0.05 {x}({t})`

`Rightarrow frac{{dx}({t})}{{x}({t})}=0.05 {dt}`
