Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
The natural resources of an island limit the growth of the population. The population of the island is given by the logistic equation where t is the number of years after 1980. What is the limiting value of the population?
(a) 3759
(b) 23
(c) 761
(d) 1017
Solution:
The limiting value is the value of the function P (t) for <em>t</em> → ∞.
As <em>t</em> → ∞, the expression → 0.
Thus, making the denominator of P (t) 1.
So, the limiting value of the population is, 3759.
Thus, the correct option is (a) 3759.

This is a units conversion problem: you have time and you want to convert that to money. Any units conversion problem involves multiplication by 1 in various forms. When you are given 7.5 min = 1 bottle = 500g, you know that (500 g)/(7.5 min) = 1 because the numerator and denominator are equal. (Of course, you are aware that 500 g = 0.500 kg.) The idea is to choose the forms of 1 that cause units you don't want to cancel, leaving only the units you do want.
