Population growth with rate and capacity

[Princezz3286]

I have a function dN/dt= rN(1-N/K) where N is a population, t is time, r is the growth rate, and K is the capacity of the population........ how would I state that N is an increasing function of t? I know that r and K are constants so it will be in terms of N, but I don't know how it should look.

Thanks!

If and when dN/dt is "positive" - you have an increasing function of N (with respect to time).

ok thanks
