In 1998 it was estimated that China’s tremendous population of 1.295 billion people made up 20% of the world’s population‚ being the world’s most populous country during that time and still remains most populous today.

A prime example of how large populations may cause problems is through China. China being the largest

common models of population growth is the exponential model. These models use functions of the torm p(t) : po€rt‚ wherep6 is the initial population and r > 0 is the rate constant. Because exponential models describe unbounded growth‚ they are unrealistic over long periods of time. Due to shortages of space and resources‚ all populations must eventually have decreasing grovtrth rates. Logistic growth models allow for exponential growth when the population is small. However‚ as the population approaches
