The per capita growth rate of many species varies temporally for a variety of reasons, including seasonality and habitat destruction. Suppose n(t) represents the population size at time t, where n is measured in individuals and t is measured in years. Solve the differential equation for habitat destruction and describe the predicted population dynamics. n′=(e−t−1)nn(0)=n0 Here the per capita growth rate declines over time, starting at zero and becoming negative. It is modeled by the function e−t−1.

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]n(t)=n_0e^{(1-e^{-t }-t)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If n(t) represents the population size at time t, where n is measured in individuals and t is measured in years.

[tex]\frac{dn}{dt}=n(e^{-t }-1), n(0)=n_o[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dn}{n}=(e^{-t }-1)dt[/tex]

Taking the integral of both sides

[tex]\int\frac{dn}{n}=\int(e^{-t }-1)dt\\\int\frac{dn}{n}= \int e^{-t }dt-\int1dt[/tex]

ln |n| = [tex]-e^{-t }-t+C[/tex]

Where C is integration constant

Taking the exponential of both sides

[tex]n=e^{(-e^{-t }-t+C)}[/tex]

[tex]n=e^{(-e^{-t }-t)}e^C\\n=Ke^{(-e^{-t }-t)}[/tex] whee the exponential of a constant is a constant K.

When t=0, [tex]n(0)=n_o[/tex]

[tex]n_0=Ke^{-1[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]n=n_0e^{1}e^{(-e^{-t }-t)}[/tex]

[tex]n(t)=n_0e^{(1-e^{-t }-t)}[/tex]
