Biologists stocked a lake with 80 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species

in that lake) to be 2,000. The number of fish tripled in the first year. (a) Assuming that the size of the fish population satisfies the logistic equation, find an expression for the size of the population after t years. P =

Answer:

P(t) = \frac{160000e^{1.36t}}{2000 + 80(e^{1.36t} - 1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic equation is the following one:

P(t) = \frac{KP(0)e^{rt}}{K + P(0)(e^{rt} - 1)}

In which P(t) is the size of the population after t years, K is the carrying capacity of the population, r is the decimal growth rate of the population and P(0) is the initial population of the lake.

In this problem, we have that:

Biologists stocked a lake with 80 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 2,000. This means that P(0) = 80, K = 2000.

The number of fish tripled in the first year. This means that P(1) = 3P(0) = 3(80) = 240.

Using the equation for P(1), that is, P(t) when t = 1, we find the value of r.

P(t) = \frac{KP(0)e^{rt}}{K + P(0)(e^{rt} - 1)}

240 = \frac{2000*80e^{r}}{2000 + 80(e^{r} - 1)}

280*(2000 + 80(e^{r} - 1)) = 160000e^{r}

280*(2000 + 80e^{r} - 80) = 160000e^{r}

280*(1920 + 80e^{r}) = 160000e^{r}

537600 + 22400e^{r} = 160000e^{r}

137600e^{r} = 537600

e^{r} = \frac{537600}{137600}

e^{r} = 3.91

Applying ln to both sides.

\ln{e^{r}} = \ln{3.91}

r = 1.36

This means that the expression for the size of the population after t years is:

P(t) = \frac{160000e^{1.36t}}{2000 + 80(e^{1.36t} - 1)}

What is the slope of the line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x + y2 = 0?
Helga [31]
  • 4x+2y=0

We know the slope formula

  • m=-a/b
  • m=-4/2
  • m=-2

Parallel lines have equal slope so it has m=-2

Sections of prefabricated fencing are each 4 1/3 feet long. how long are 6 1/2 sections placed end to end
zalisa [80]

we know that

4\frac{1}{3}= \frac{(4*3+1)}{3} =\frac{13}{3}

6\frac{1}{2}= \frac{(6*2+1)}{2}=\frac{13}{2}

To find how long are 6\frac{1}{2}  sections placed end to end

Multiply the number of sections by the length of one section

so

\frac{13}{2} *\frac{13}{3} =\frac{169}{6}\ ft

\frac{169}{6}\ ft =28\frac{1}{6}\ ft

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

28\frac{1}{6} \ ft
