The Pacific halibut fishery has been modeled by the differential equation dy dt = ky 1 − y K where y(t) is the biomass (the tota

l mass of the members of the population) in kilograms at time t (measured in years), the carrying capacity is estimated to be K = 6×107 kg, and k = 0.78 per year. (a) If y(0) = 2×107 kg, find the biomass a year later. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) .52 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. ×107 kg (b) How long will it take for the biomass to reach 4×107? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) years

Answer:

a. The biomass weighs 2.30 * 10^7 kg after a year

b. It'll take 2.56 years to get to 4*10^7kg

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

k = 0.78,K = 6E7 kg

Given

dy/dt = ky(1- y/K)

Make ky dt the subject of formula

ky dt = dy/(1-y/K) --- make k dt the subject of formula

k dt = dy/(y(1-y/K))

k dt = K dy / y(K-y)

k dt = ((1/y) + (1/(K-y)))dy ---- integrate both sides

kt + c = ln(y/(K-y))

Ce^(kt) = y/(K-y)

Substitute the values of k and K

Ce^(0.78t) = y/(6*10^7 - y) ----- (1)

Given that y(0) = 2 * 10^7kg

(1) becomes

Ce^(0.78*0) = (2 * 10^7)/(6*10^7 - 2*10^7)

Ce° = (2*10^7)/(4*10^7

C = 2/7

Substitute 2/7 for C in (1)

2/7e^0.78t = y/(6*10^7 - y) ---(2)

We're to find the biomass a year later

So, t = 1

2/7e^0.78 = y/(6*10^7 - y)

0.62 = y/(6*10^7 - y)

y = 0.62(6*10^7 - y)

y = 0.62*6*10^7 - 0.62y

y + 0.62y = 0.62*6*10^7

1.62y = 0.62*6*10^7

1.62y = 3.72 * 10^7

y = 2.30 * 10^7kg.

Hence, the biomass weighs 2.30 * 10^7 kg after a year

b.

Here, we're to calculate the time it'll take the biomass to get to 4*10^7 kg

Substitute 4*10^7 for y in (2)

2/7e^0.78t = 4*10^7/(6*10^7 - 4*10^7)

2/7e^0.78t = 4*10^7/2*10^7

2/7e^0.78t = 2

e^0.78t = (2*7)/2

e^0.78t = 2

t = 2 * 1/0.78

t = 2.56 years

Hence, it'll take 2.56 years to get to 4*10^7kg

Simplify (2 x 10^3) (4 x 10^-5)
Vlad [161]

the answer to this problem is 2/25. I got this by simplifying both exponents which changes the equation to (2)(1000)(4)(1/100000). Then you multiply the other numbers by its simplified exponent and makes the equation 2000(1/25000). The last step is to multiply those two and you get your answer, 2/25(simplified version)   :)

Binomial means there are two terms, so c²<span> − 16 is the answer
mononomial means there is only one term, so -8c is the answer
written in descending form means from the highest degree (exponent) to the lowest, </span>4x²<span> − 3x + 9 is the answer for question 3.
Question 4: use the same method for question 3, the third term is -7x


Question 5: not sure what this is: </span><span>2x2y. Is it 2x</span>²y or 2x2y?
you need to add up the exponent of x and y. In this case, the highest degree is y's 4th power plus x's 1st power, which makes a 5.

Explain how to compare 513251 and 513521 to find the greater number
Annette [7]
What you do is look at the numbers in order from the greatest number, to the least. For example, in this problem, we would start with the 5 in 513251, and the 5 in 513521. Since they are both fives, we don't know yet which one is bigger. So we move onto the next number, which would be the 1 in 513251, and the 1 in 513521. They are both the same, so we go onto the 3 in 513251, and the 3 in 513521. Those are also both the same, to we go onto the 2 in 513251, and the 5 in 513521. As you can see, the 5 from 513521 is greater then the 2 in 513251, so that shows that 513521 is greater.
