What would happen if a population has plenty of food and space and has no competition or predators?

What man believed that the population tends to increase to the limits set by the existing food?

How would you describe the increase in population size?
The increase in population size brings about food and water shortages, limits in housing spaces, gives rise to health problems and most of all it hastens environmental degradation and sometimes contributes to natural calamities such as floods and landslides. As mentioned earlier when the population size has increased to a point where the natural resources of the place can no longer adequately meet the basic Needs of the people, the condition is known as overpopulation
Describe one of the limiting factors and describe how it limits population growth?
human population has been growing rapidly since before the year 1000 but human population does not have a limit to how high it goes but it's us that gives it a small limit of what it can cope with, food production, waste produce, crime rate, health service are all at risk of over population so the population only has a small limit and we are the only ones that give it the limit!

Write the formula for population growth without limits?
In a population without limits, there will be an increase in the population size. For that we will use the equation (dN/dt) = 1.0 N where N is the number of individuals in the population and (dN/dt) is the rate of change in the number of the population over time.
What limits population growth?
Shorter life expectancy, incurable disease, over population and not enough food can limit population growth
Growth ends when a population nears its carrying capacity.?
Exponential
Formula for population growth without limits?
The formula for population growth is based on the formula for interest. The formula is Final Population is equal to Initial Population multiplied by e raised to the power of the product of the rate of growth multiplied by the time of growth, or P(f) = P(o) * e ^ (rt).
What is the name of a nutrient that is in short supply or that cycles slowly which limits population growth?
limiting factor
What did Darwin think limits the growth of populations?
It has to do with Natural selection and if the food is scarce then the population would die out and lead to extinction. So what limits the growth of populations is the food supply.
How do some factor in an ecosystem limit the growth of population within an ecosystem?
