Population Growth A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and their population increases according to the logistic curve where t is mea

sured in months. Use a graphing utility to graph the function. What is the limiting size of the fish population? At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months? After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

c) p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114

And if we replace t=10 we got:

p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404

d) 0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And then:

0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)

0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1

ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}

t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "A lake is stocked with 500 fish, and the population increases according to the logistic curve p(t) = 10000 / 1 + 19e^-t/5 where t is measured in months. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) What is the limiting size of the fish population? (c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months? (d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?"

Solution to the problem

We have the following function

P(t)=\frac{10000}{1 +19e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}

(a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function.

If we use desmos we got the figure attached.

(b) What is the limiting size of the fish population?

For this case we just need to see what is the value of the function when x tnd to infinity. As we can see in our original function if x goes to infinity out function tend to 1000 and thats our limiting size.

(c) At what rates is the fish population changing at the end of 1 month and at the end of 10 months?

For this case we need to calculate the derivate of the function. And we need to use the derivate of a quotient and we got this:

p'(t) = \frac{0 - 10000 *(-\frac{19}{5}) e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we simplify we got this:

p'(t) =\frac{19000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{5 (1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we simplify we got:

p'(t) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{t}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^2}

And if we find the derivate when t=1 we got this:

p'(t=1) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{1}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{1}{5}})^2}=113.506 \approx 114

And if we replace t=10 we got:

p'(t=10) =\frac{38000 e^{-\frac{10}{5}}}{(1+19e^{-\frac{10}{5}})^2}=403.204 \approx 404

(d) After how many months is the population increasing most rapidly?

For this case we need to find the second derivate, set equal to 0 and then solve for t. The second derivate is given by:

p''(t) = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And if we set equal to 0 we got:

0 = \frac{7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)}{(1+19e^{-\frac{t}{5}})^3}

And then:

0 = 7600 e^{-\frac{t}{5}} (19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1)

0 =19e^{-\frac{t}{5}} -1

ln(\frac{1}{19}) = -\frac{t}{5}

t = -5 ln (\frac{1}{19}) =14.722

A business has two loans totaling $85,000. One loan has a rate of 4.5% and the other has a rate of 6%. This year, the business e
butalik [34]

Answer:

$30,000 and $55,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4.5% loan is x, and the 6% loan is y, then:

x + y = 85000

0.045x + 0.06y = 4650

Solve the system of equations with substitution or elimination.  Using substitution:

0.045x + 0.06(85000 − x) = 4650

0.045x + 5100 − 0.06x = 4650

450 = 0.015x

x = 30000

y = 55000

Ella and jade both ran a marathone ella finished 4 hours 6 mins and 13 seconds jade finished in 4 hours and 3 mins and 18 second
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Jade is faster than Ella by 2 minutes and 55 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Ella and Jade both ran a marathon. Ella finished marathon in 4 hours 6 mins and 13 seconds. Jade finished marathon in 4 hours and 3 mins and 18 seconds.

We can write 4 hour 6 minutes 13 seconds as 4 hour 5 minutes 73 seconds. 1 minute has been borrowed to the seconds side, and seconds become 13+60 = 73 seconds.

We can see that Ella took more time than Jade. Let us find how much more time Ella took than Jade by subtracting time taken by Jade from time taken by Ella.  

4\text{ hr }5\text{ min }73\text{ sec }-4\text{ hr }3\text{ min }18{ sec }= 2\text{ min }55\text{ sec }  

We can see that Jade took 2 minute and 55 seconds less than Ella , therefore, Jade was faster than Ella by 2 minutes 55 seconds.
