Asymptote in a logistic growth curve is obtained when:
- AThe value of 'r' approaches zero
- BK = N
- CK > N
- DK < N
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In the logistic growth equation
dt
dN
=rN(
K
K−N
), when the population size (N) reaches the carrying capacity (K), then K−N=0. At this point, the growth rate
dt
dN
becomes zero, and the curve reaches its asymptote (plateau).
