Answer:

A complete description of the problem and solutions to each point are given below.

Explanation:

The Logistic Growth model of a population is defined as follows:

                                   dP/dt = kP (1 - P/M) (1)

Where:

dP/dt is the population growth rate.

k is the maximal individual growth rate for a given population

P is the number of individual in the population

M= carrying capacity of the population.

In the problem this first order derivative ecuation is given by

                               dP/dt= 0,07P - 0,00014P² (2)

So, we can factorize ecuation (1) and compare it with (2) to find the carryng capacity and k value (questions 1 and 2).

                                        kP (1 - P/M) = 0,07P - 0,00014P²

                                        kP - (k/M)P² = 0,07P - 0,00014P²

Here kP = 0,07P ⇒ k = 0,07 (answer to question 2)

Then, (k/M)P² = 0,00014P²⇒ (k/M) = 0,00014 and given that k= 0,07

⇒ 0,07/M = 0,00014 ⇒ M = 0,07/0,00014 ⇒ M=500 (answer to question 1)

Finally to find for which values of P is the population increasing/decreasing, we have to find the values at which dP/dt is zero. Analyzing the equation as a quadratic function (applying Baskara´s equation) we find that the values at which dP/dt is zero are P= 0 and P = -1.

x = [-0,07 ± √(0,07²)]/ 0,14 ⇒ x=  [-0,07 ± 0,07)]/ 0,14 ⇒ x = 0 and x= -1.

Then the vertex here is P = -0,5.

Now we can state that for P greater than - 0,5 the population is decreasimg (question 4), while for values from -∞ to - 0,5 the population is increasing (question 3).

Summarizing, given the first order derivative, the carrying capacity of the population is 500, the value of k is 0,07, the values of P for which dP/dt is positive (incresing population) are those comprised in the range (-∞, -0,5) and those for which the population is decreasing are (-0,5,∞).

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Short-selling long-term bonds and taking long position on short-term assets

Explanation:

When the yield curve ascends, the long-term bond's price will go down. Hence, do short-sell the long-term bonds. On the other hand, short-term asset's price will be depreciated because Fed tightens credit and raise short-term rate, which is the chance to purchase and make profits from capital gains.

dexar [7]

Answer:

The client should be tested for <em>Diabetes insipidus (DI)</em>

Explanation:

Literally, Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of fluids in the body. It is a rare condition that causes the body to make a lot of insipid urine. Alongside with lots of urination, this condition is characterized by an increased thirst.

<em>Other symptoms are</em>

  • Dry skin.
  • Constipation.
  • Weak muscles.
  • Bedwetting.

It is most likely that the client's kidneys can no longer concentrate the urine normally, hence; the reason why large amount of dilute urine is excreted.

If left untreated, diabetes insipidus can lead to brain damage and poor growth.

levacccp [35]

Answer:

B) Incurable

Explanation:

The convenience store is working legally in front of your house, and unless you have enough money to buy the whole business and close it, then you cannot do anything about it. That is what incurable means in real estate: the costs of improvements or corrections necessary are higher than the value that is added by the improvement or cure.

That is probably the reason why the house is so cheap and Maria can afford it.

2. List at least three things you would consider when choosing a bank and account type. (1-3 sentences. 3.0 points)
larisa [96]

Well that depends on the person. The three things that someone would do when considering to choose a bank is to have trust, convenience, and account features. They would have to trust the bank, and it would have to be well-known and established. Bank accounts are case-sensitive, so it takes extra time for them to further secure their account.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
