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

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

As x —> negative infinity, f(x) —> negative infinity

As x —> positive infinity, f(x) —> positive infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  {x}^{5}  - 9 {x}^{3}

An odd-degree function, meaning that the graph starts from negative infinity at x —> negative infinity and positive infinity at x —> positive infinity.

As x —> negative infinity, f(x) —> negative infinity

As x —> positive infinity, f(x) —> positive infinity.

An odd-degree function is an one-to-one function so whenever x approaches positive, f(x) will also approach positive.

a flat-bottom reflecting pool has length 30 yards, width 10 yards, and depth 0.3 yard. Find th e surface area of the pool and th
Zigmanuir [339]
The surface area of the object above can be calculated by summing up all the areas of the surfaces. Therefore, we will have 5 surfaces with rectangles as the shape. The volume would be the product of the length, width and the depth. We calculate as follows:

SA = 2(depth)(length) + 2(depth)(width) + (width)(length)
SA = 324 yd^2

VOlume = 30x10x.3
Volume = 90 yd^3
