Q. The Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth is described using the equation $\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\left( \frac{K-N}{K} \right) $ , in this $K$ stands tor.

Solution:

In Verhulst Pearl logistic growth equation, $K$ is the carrying capacity. In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support maximum possible number, beyond which no further growth is possible. This limit is termed as carrying capacity, denoted by $K$.
