Hint a population can grow at this rate under ideal conditions that is the difference between birth and death rates exponential growth
Hint the maximum population size that an environment can sustain a species indefinitely carrying capacity

Hint harvesting commercial organisms below midpoint on the logistic growth curve to ensure sustained yields maximal sustainable yield
