Follow-up Question

With more offspring produced in age class 1 (x = 1), the patient population could match the rate of population growth rate of the speedy population. By trial and error, approximate the number of offspring (1 decimal place) that must be produced in age class 1 of the patient population such that the growth rates of the two populations are almost identical.
