This indicates that the total revenue is the ...
The equation for figure 2 is the differential of equation 1.1 (Verhulst's 1838 growth model): [13] = (equation 1.2) can be understood as the change in population (N) with respect to a change in time (t). Equation 1.2 is the usual way in which logistic growth is represented mathematically and has several important features.

Surplus killing, also known as excessive killing, henhouse syndrome, [1] [2] or overkill, [3] is a common behavior exhibited by predators, in which they kill more prey than they can immediately eat and then they either cache or abandon the remainder.
In a subsistence economy, economic surplus is minimal and only used to trade for basic goods, and there is no industrialization. [2] [3] In hunting and gathering societies, resources are often, if not typically underused. [4] The subsistence system is maintained through sharing, feasting, ritual observance and associated norms. [5]
