If a population has a birth rate of 40 individuals per 1,000 per year and a death rate of 30 individuals per 1,000 per year, how will the population change each year? (Assume that the population is below carrying capacity and that there is no immigration or emigration.)

Note on the problem statement

We assume any carrying capacity limit would be reflected in the birth or death rates, or both. Since death < birth, we assume the carrying capacity is not a limit.
