Problem 4.12-population growth #2. Suppose the per capita birth rate of an insect is 0.04/day, the per capita natural death rate is 0.006/day, and the per capita crowding death rate per day is 0.0005 times the population. (a) State the model differential equation and find the equilibrium solutions.
