Answer:

Amplitude = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The amplitude of a sinusoidal function is HALF of the difference between MAX and MIN points of the graph.

The graph shown isn't centered at x-axis. Now, we look where the maximum point is. Each unit of graph is "1" units.

The max point is at y = 1

Now, we look for minimum point. Thus,

the min point is at y = -5

The vertical distance is:

1 - (-5) = 1 + 5 = 6 units

The amplitude is HALF of this vertical distance, so

Amplitude = 6/2 = 3

Amplitude = 3

If N is the population of the colony and t is the time in days, express N as a function of t. Consider Upper N 0 is the origina

lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) $N(t)=Noe^{kt}$

(b)5,832 Mosquitoes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Given an original amount $N_o$ at t=0. The population of the colony with a growth rate $k \neq 0$ , where k is a constant is given as:

$N(t)=Noe^{kt}$

(b)If $N_o=1000$ and the population after 1 day, N(1)=1800

Then, from our model:

N(1)=1800

$1800=1000e^{k}\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\e^{k}=1.8\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\k=ln(1.8)$

Therefore, our model is:

$N(t)=1000e^{t*ln(1.8)}\\N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t$

In 3 days time

$N(3)=1000\cdot1.8^3=5832$

The population of mosquitoes in 3 days time will be approximately 5832.

(c)If the population N(t)=20,000,we want to determine how many days it takes to attain that value.

From our model

$N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t\\20000=1000\cdot1.8^t\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\20=1.8^t\\$Convert to logarithm form\\Log_{1.8}20=t\\\frac{Log 20}{Log 1.8}=t\\ t=5.097\approx 5\; days$

In approximately 5 days, the population of mosquitoes will be 20,000.
