Suppose the deer population P(t) in a small forest satisfies the logistic equation dP 0.0225P – 0.0003 p². dt Construct a slope field and appropriate solution curve to answer the following questions: If there are 25 deer at time t = 0 and t is measured in months, how long will it take the number of deer to double? What will be the limiting deer population?
