#### Population Dynamics and Mathematical Models

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph shown is from a study by T.S. Bellows, titled "Descriptive Properties of Some Models for Density Dependence," published in the *Journal of Animal Ecology* in 1981. The graph depicts the dynamics of a population based on a mathematical model, with a curve illustrating changes over a particular range.

**12. Population Model Dynamics:**

- **Equation:** \( x_{n+1} = r f(x_n) \)

If we assume that each adult produces \( r \) eggs, then the population dynamics are represented by this equation.

- **Tasks:**
  - a. Determine the equilibria and their stability for values \( r = 2, 4, 6 \).
  - b. Simulate the model with \( x_0 = 0.1 \) for \( r = 2, 4, 6 \).

**15. Model for Eastern Pacific Yellowfin Tuna:**

- **Growth Model:** 
  \[
  G(N) = 2.61N \left(1 - \left(\frac{N}{148}\right)^\theta\right)
  \]

\( N \) = population size in thousands of tons, \( t \) = years, and \( \theta \) > 0 determines density dependence strength.

- **Tasks:**
  - Determine the population size at maximum sustainable harvest rate.
  - Discuss the effect of \( \theta \) on population size.

**17. Biochemical Switch Model:**

- **Equation:** 
  \[
  x_{n+1} = \frac{3x_n^2}{1 + x_n^2}
  \]

\( x_n \) = concentration of a biochemical at time \( n \).

- **Tasks:**
  - a. Find equilibria.
  - b. Verify \( f(x) = \frac{3x^2}{1 + x^2} \) is increasing for \( x > 0 \).
  - c. Discuss solutions to the equation.

**18. Public Awareness of a New Drug:**

- **Model:** 
  \[
  P(t) = \frac{5.2t}{0.015t^2 + 0.342} + 0.18
  \]

\( t \) = months after
