Nnext year  = Nthis year  +   0.2(Nthis year)( 1 - Nthis year / K)     .....filling in what we know

 

Nnext year    = 3000 + 0.2(3000)(1 - 3000/4000)  = 3150

 

So.....we need to use this result for next year to find the result two years from now.....and we have

 

3150 + 0.2(3150)(1 - 3150/4000)   =  about 3284  [rounded] two years from now

 

This makes sense, since the number of plants increases each year  [ until the "carrying capacity"  of 4000 is reached ]

 

 

 

cool cool cool

N = 3000+0.2 (3000 (1-3000/4000))

N=3,150 plants expected in the 1st. year.

Substitute this in the formula above for the 2nd year, you get:

N= 3,284 plants expected in 2 years from now.
