Question

Pls help!!

Consider the entire growth curve for the wildebeest population shown in Figure 2. Which of the following best describes this type of growth?


exponential


linear


logistic


geometric

Answer 1

logistic

i took the k12 test

Answer 2

The growth curve depicted by the wildebeest graph given is a logistic growth

• From graph shown, there was a period of continous growth between 1960 to 1976 where the wildebeest increased continously. After that was a period where the growth stopped (this could be the period where the carrying capacity is reached). A period of continous growth followed by a alteration in the growth rate (carrying capacity) are characteristics of a logistic growth curve.

• Linear growth is denoted by a straight line

• Exponential and geometric growth are characterized by unending growth curves. Hence, they do not have a period where the growth level drops.

Therefore, the growth curve best describes a logistic growth curve.
