write down a matlab code simulating population growth rate dx/dt against x. (note: r = 1.89 and k = 1000 in matlab

main.m
function population_growth()
    % setting parameters
    r = 1.89; % growth rate
    k = 1000; % carrying capacity
    tspan = [0 20]; % time span for simulation
    x0 = 100; % initial population
    
    % solve the differential equation
    [t,x] = ode45(@(t,x) r*x*(1-x/k), tspan, x0);
    
    % plot the population growth rate
    plot(t,x)
    xlabel('Time')
    ylabel('Population')
    title('Population Growth Rate')
end

In this code, we first define the growth rate r, carrying capacity k, time span tspan, and initial population x0. Then, we use the ode45 solver to solve the differential equation dx/dt = r*x*(1-x/k) over the time span tspan with initial population x0. This returns two arrays, t and x, representing the time and population, respectively. Finally, we plot the population growth rate against time using plot function.
