Assume there is a certain population of fish in a pond whose growth is described by the logistic equation. It is estimated that

the carrying capacity for the pond is 1500 fish. Absent constraints, the population would grow by 170% per year.
If the starting population is given by p0 = 400, then after one breeding season the population of the pond is given by p1 =.
After two breeding seasons the population of the pond is given by p2 =.

Answer:

The correct answer is  p1 = 898 and p2 = 1020.

Explanation:

This is a logistic growth problem and will utilize the following formula:  

Pn = P_{n-1} + r (1- \frac{P_{n-1} }{k} ) P_{n-1}

Given ;

r = 1.7

k = 1500

Po = 400

then,

Pn = 400 + 1.7 (1- \frac{400 }{1500} ) 400

= 400 + 1.7 (293)

= 400+ 498

P₁= 898

Similarly,

P₂= P_{2-1} + r (1- \frac{P_{2-1} }{k} ) P_{2-1}

= Pn = 400 + 1.7 (1- \frac{898 }{1500} ) 400

= 1020

Thus, the correct answer is  p1 = 898 and p2 = 1020.

SOVA2 [1]
They do not influence the salinity level in their environment, they maintain the salinity in their body. If they don't, osmosis will cause their cells to shrink due to the fact that the salinity in the cell is lower than outside the cell. This will make water leave the cells. So they need to get rid of excess salt all the time. Freshwater fish need to retain the salt in their bodies, otherwise the opposite will happen. Salinity level in the cell is higher than outside the cell and this causes influx of water which will make the cell build up turgor pressure. Ultimately they will explode. So fishes in both environments adapted to deal with osmosis.

irinina [24]

When faced with a complex engineering problem, the best strategy usually involves( A ) Breaking the problem down into smaller problems and solving them individually.

Explanation:

Th first step of solving a complex problem involves problem identification-it means what exactly is the problem then we try to determine the possible sub-groups in which the problem can be further divided  and then numbering the sub groups.

The process of sub-grouping means that we are sub dividing the problems and then working upon the problem that needs the attention first and then according solving the other sub categories of the problem.

This method helps in breaking the complex problem into a series of small task that can be easily solved in a sequential manner .Thus the complexity of the problem gets reduced when it is divided into a number of small problems.
