If N is the population density at time t, then its density at time t +1 is [B is births; I is immigration;
D is deaths; E is emigration]:
1. Nt+1 = Nt + [(B + I) – (D + E)]
2. Nt+1 = Nt + [(B + I) + (D + E)]
3. Nt+1 = Nt + [(B + I) (D + E)]
4. Nt+1 = Nt + [(B + I) / (D + E)]

The Verhulst-Pearl Logistic growth equation is correctly written as [N - population size; r - the intrinsic growth rate, K - carrying capacity of the local environment]:
1. dN/dt = rN[1- N/K]
2. dN/dt = rN[1- K/N]
3. dN/dt = rN + [1- N/K]     
4. dN/dt = rN + [1- K/N]
